Introduction: Home and Garden Terra Cotta Pot Decorations
Hi everyone! While at my local Lowe's store, I found these $2 Terra Cotta pots. I picked up two and also two terra cotta saucers.
I wanted to create a decoration that could be displayed in the home or garden/patio. You will need just a few materials, and there will be a few that are optional.
Supplies
Terra Cotta Saucer
Size 4.25''
Terra Cotta Rimmed Cylinder Pot
Size 3''
Acrylic paint
I am using white for the pot and celery green for the clay saucer
Moss
I am using preserved moss that I purchased at Walmart
E6000
Hot glue
Faux floral
Paintbrush
Floral cutters
Optional- Mod Podge or clear coat spray paint and butterfly gems
Step 1: Applying Paint to the Clay Saucer
Start by taking your paintbrush and applying acrylic paint to each clay saucer.
Set your clay saucers aside and allow them to fully dry.
Step 2: Apply Paint to Pots
Next, take your pots and use your paintbrush to apply your acrylic paint.
Allow your pots to fully dry before moving to the next step. **Note** After the paint has dried on your clay saucers and pots, you could take either a clear coat spray or mod podge to seal in the paint.
This can be done if you are planning on displaying your decoration outdoors.
Step 3: Attaching Clay Saucer to Pot
Take your pots and flip them over to where the bottom of the pot is facing up.
Next, apply some adhesive around the bottom of the pots. Take your saucers and add them to your pots.
Step 4: Adding Your Moss
Next, take your moss and begin to spread it on the inside of the saucer. I used some hot glue when attaching my moss to my saucer.
Step 5: Preparing Your Floral and Adding Embellishments
After, take your floral cutters and cut your floral to the desired size. Use some hot glue and attach them to the inside of your saucer with the moss.
Once you have added your flowers you can add any other decorations or embellishments to your design. I added two of my butterfly gems.
Your terra cotta pot designs are complete. Aren't they so pretty? I love how they turned out. I hope that you have enjoyed this easy DIY tutorial.
