Whoa…flower pots can get expensive!
I sure do love all the pretty colors and designs of flower pots in the shops but the price tags makes me think
“Hey, I can do that for a fraction of the price”
So here are my 2 terra cotta pots.
They are actually African violet pots…
at least that’s what the tag said,
I have no idea why they have
the little slits in the sides though.
But not to worry,
that will be covered up.
Voila!
Here’s what I did.
Don’t blink because you may
miss out on how easy this is.
PAINT. GLUE BURLAP. PLANT FLOWER
And the best part is getting the kids involved.
Colby loved giving the plants a new home.
She will check on them every
day and watch them grow
over the summer!
Whenever doing a bit of gardening
this summer, get your kiddos
involved – they’ll love it!
Those are so beautiful! I love the colors and the burlap. What a great activity for kids too. Megan
Cute pots! I love the color you chose.
Love the color for your pots & what a lovely young lady you have to plant your geraniums! You take great photographs.
These look fantastic – thanks for sharing. The kids sure so love to get out in the garden!

Love your pots! Painting pots is so fun and easy- you can do any color you want. I painted my old plastic ones this year with Krylon fusion.
Love the color!

Great project! The pots are for orchids – the slits are for air circulation to the roots.
Nice pots! I used the MS Araucana Teal as an accent color on a buffet that I painted and I love it!
Flower pots are way too expensive and I love the blue and burlap. Thanks so much for sharing at Toot Your Horn Tuesday
