The legend of the White Witch of Rose Hall has intrigued and fascinated people for centuries. Located in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Rose Hall is a historic plantation house with a chilling tale. The White Witch, locally known as Annie Palmer, is said to have been a cruel and powerful sorceress who ruled the plantation with an iron fist. According to the legend, Annie Palmer was born in Haiti to English parents and was sent to live with relatives in Jamaica after her parents' death. She inherited Rose Hall and married John Palmer, the plantation's owner. However, it is believed that she murdered him, along with two subsequent husbands, in order to maintain control over the estate.
If the Dollar Tree is not on your list of shopping for seasonal decor, then you are missing out my friend. They have a great selection of Halloween signs out this year and the possibilities of what to do with them are endless. I recently shared a blog post showing all of the goodies that my store had out. You can take a look here to see what I am talking about. The wood cut out selection has really increased this year and let me tell you, they really have some cool ones out. I came across this Dollar Tree Witch Sign and decided to grab it and see what I could do with it.

Dollar Tree terracotta pot makeover
Call me crazy, but I don't LOVE the way a terracotta pot looks in its original state. The clayish/orange color doesn't tend to go with my decor. BUT, I still buy them- because I know I can give them a MAKEOVER!
There are literally so many ways you can revamp a terracotta pot. but today, I'm sticking with the good ole' fashioned PAINT!
Materials
- Terracotta pot (mine came from Dollar Tree)
- Paint colors of your choice (I chose black & white from Apple Barrel)
- Burlap ribbon
- Hot glue
Instructions
- If you've seen my Spring Front Porch, then you know that I love decorating with black and white stripes. which is why I decided to paint this bad boy to match! First, just paint your pot white. Like I mentioned above, I just used the color "white" by Apple Barrel paints! It ended up needing two coats to be completely covered.
- Next step. you guessed it. paint on your stripes! I know this can be scary for some people, but hear me out- if you mess up, you can touch it up after it dries! NO biggie!!
- Here is how mine is looking so far! As you can see, the stripes are NOT perfect- which is totally fine!
- After it dried, I went back in and touched up some spots that needed it. which is why you don't need to be TOO caught up in being perfect!
- To finish it off, I decided to hot glue some burlap ribbon around the brim of the pot. and this COMPLETELY set it off. This ribbon is from Hobby Lobby!
- Lastly, I added this smaller ribbon from Dollar Tree right in the center of the other burlap ribbon. I am IN LOVE with how it turned out, y'all. So, what do YOU think?? Will you be trying this one out? I sure hope so!
