Looking for a fun, easy and inexpensive Mother’s Day gift for the special women in your life?
Look no further! This project is super easy to do and takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish!
We are going to take Terra Cotta pots, I bought mine from Home Depot, $3 and $4 each and paint the bottoms in pretty pastel Spring colors. I bought 2 indoor plants as well at $4 each to plant in my pots when finished.
Next, I headed over to Michael’s to pick up 2 bottles of acrylic paint $1 each.
First, using masking tape I taped off the bottom of each pot making a straight line going around the pot about 2-3 inches from the bottom. Next, using a paintbrush I painted on my pretty blue and green pastel paints.
Acrylic paint is fantastic on Terra Cotta pots because it dries in less than 5 minutes.
Next, I potted my plants using potting soil and last but not least, made a cute little card out of cardstock from Michaels, $.79 per sheet and a BBQ skewer, I cut out 2 hearts in different shapes, glued them together, then glued them onto my BBQ skewer and stuck it into the soil.
To make 1 of these flower/pot arrangements it will cost you less than $10, and if you have paint at home then it will cost even less.
Maybe there are a few pots in your yard or garage that aren’t being used… now you can put them to great use.
These are great gifts for teachers or work colleagues because of the indoor plant, they can be displayed on desks.
