This is how it starts - a peat pot that all die hard gardeners use to start their blooms. I painted the pot, inside and out, with an off white acrylic paint. If you decide to do this be aware that the pot becomes very pliable with the addition of the paint. To counteract this, paint the outside first, let it dry, then paint the inside. Take a Wallies (available at your local craft store - maybe your local paint store) and decoupage the wallie onto the pot. Let this dry. You can add a pipe cleaner for a handle. add some glitter, or chop up some tissue paper to add to the side. Whatever strikes your fancy. The pots pictured are 3" pots - my next batch will be smaller as I will add them to my Easter tree. Note - the image on the front pot was taken from a picture on my computer.
this posting snuck in ... i was having a therapy session looking at the tranquil snow picture and from there noticed the pot story. great work judi...no sitting around doing nothing for you!! i especially loved the flower pot and would like to see one filled with spring flowers. (we painted pots in our group ... lots of bows and ribbons but your effort is a whole new look.) very very nice!! you do have me wondering what's next!!
