Stamp Letters
Once dry, stamp on the letters (Image 1). Tip: Practice on a scrap piece of paper first, and use a paper towel to wipe off edges of each stamp to prevent smudges on the pots (Image 2).

Apply Sealer
Once the letters are dry, spray acrylic sealer to prevent scratches and chipped paint.
