Inexpensive and fun to make, you can take a plain flowerpot and turn it into a practical and pretty gift or decoration. All the supplies you need can be found at your local hardware store.
Painted and stenciled flowerpots
The great thing about terra cotta flowerpots is their versatility. Many hardware stores sell terra cotta flowerpots in a range of sizes. Painted and stenciled flowerpots are great for dressing up the inside or outside of your home when growing plants, herbs, and flowers.
Pick up acrylic paints or spray paint at the hardware store and a variety of stencils. Paint the pot in the color of your choice and use a contrasting color for the stencils. This is a fun project that is simple enough for children to help with and the finished flowerpots make lovely and inexpensive gifts.
Flowerpot characters
You can create nearly any character you wish using two flowerpots placed end to end. You will want to paint your flowerpots first in the color of your choice. Place one flowerpot upside down and glue another flowerpot in the upright position to the bottom pot.
Use a fine tipped paint brush to paint a face on the top pot. Plant foliage or grass in the top pot to look like hair. Place your flowerpot character in your garden or along a pathway to add a little charm and fun to your outdoor space.
Flowerpot gift container
Flowerpots make great gift containers for those who love gardening, and you can determine the cost of the gift by the size of the pot. Decorate your flowerpot by tying a piece of jute string from the hardware store around the pot and forming a bow.
Use a small, decorated flowerpot with a few packs of flower seeds tucked into the pot for a cute and inexpensive gift. For a larger gift, use a bigger flowerpot and add some small gardening tools, seed packets, and a small bag of potting soil.
There are so many creative things you can do with a simple flowerpot. Whether you want to dress up some old flowerpots to use around the house or dress up new ones to give as gifts, the supplies you need are as close as your local hardware store.
