CRAFT of the DAY: Painted Pots

There are many easy ways to reuse flower pots that will extend the life and use of the pot as well as depletes household clutter. 

Turn an old plant pot into a decorative candy favor pot ,container pot or even a pot centerpiece!

 A coat of vibrant paint can make a world of difference to an old  pot .

For cheerful containers, stain pots in colors that complement their contents. 

The best part of painting pots for me is coming up with the designs.

Use paint pens to draw in a fun and festive design, such as bright polka-dots and stripes, and fill with candy. Add ribbon for a candy jar that is unique and sweet!

Below are my sample creations....

CRAFT of the DAY: Snowman Pots

I saw snowmen made out of clay pots on the internet.  They were too cute I immediately thought, hey maybe we would could make these ourselves. So thats exactly what i  did. I was inspired to make these for my upcoming Christmas event as well.

You will need the ff;

• terra cotta pots
• acrylic or poster paints
• scissors
• black Sharpie marker
• old glove
• ribbon for hat

Start by painting your clay pot white.  It took two coats. Set it aside and wait to dry.

  Meanwhile, make a hat by cutting the fingers off of a knit glove.

Paint the rim as desired -- the scarf of the snowman. 

play with colors and patterns.

When the pot is dry add the gloves upward to look like the brim of a winter hat. 

 Add nose with a liner brush and orange paint. Add the facial features with the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in black paint (dotted mouth and eyes) and a Sharpie marker (wiggly smile).

Let everything dry then put a light coat of Mod Podge over the face and other white areas, taking care not to hit the hat.

 Each one is a little bit different but has a way of melting your heart..

Let it snow!its Christmas =)
