Spray Painted Terra-cotta

I went to Ace Hardware the other day to get spray paint (for a different project) and a pot to plant my basil in. 
The cashier asked if I was spray painting the pot and I said, "Golly gee willikers! What a swell idea."

Supplies needed are:

spray paint

painters tape

yarn (optional)

a pot

Suggested steps:

Tape off what you don't want sprayed

Spray paint it

Plant something!

 {Don't mind my water logged painters tape. It was still sticky!!}

{Tape off what you want.}

{Start spray painting. I did a few coats.}

{Mitzy who desperately wants to come help. ;)}

{The finished project}

For the most part it turned out how I envisioned. Next time I'll be more careful with the tape. I thought I had it all flattened but I guess not. 

Does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of the streaks?
