Pretty Painted Flower Pots

April 3, 2011

I hope you all had great spring break. We went down to the beach, and it was just awesome. Now that we are back, I am ready to show you another crafty project. The flowers are starting to bloom, and it seems like everyone is outside making their yards beautiful. So why not add a little color to your yard by painting some pretty flower pots. What could be better than to paint some lovely flower pots and place your favorite flowers in them. Sophia wanted to plant something so I decided to pick up some inexpensive clay flower pots to paint them anyway we want.

This is what you will need:

  • Clay Flower pots (any size you desire)
  • Paint
  • Brushes
  • Plant

Now, get your paint and brushes and start to paint each pot in any design you like. My little artist couldn’t wait, and was way ahead of me. She started to paint the entire flower pot in a flash, and I made my own butterfly, flower, polka dot design. Then we set them aside to dry.

After they were dry, we went outside and placed our flowers in both of the flower pots. Voila! They look very beautiful and with the sunlight shining on the pots, the colors radiate even more. Sophia was so happy with her new Pretty Painted Flower Pots. She said she will water them every day, so they can grow just like her! LOL. Now, get yourself some flower pots and have the kids paint them with you, and have fun. This would definitely make a nice project all year around. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

    these are so pretty! I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to do crafts like this 🙂 We actually did spend the day working in the flower beds and planting flowers. I might do your little craft project myself and make a pretty pot for a flower to put on my outside table!

    What a great idea! We are going to add this to our Spring Break agenda. Hopefully we make it out of the craft stores without spending a fortune.

    I love these!! I am a teacher by day and I have my students use their fingerprints to create insects on a painted pot. Then they sign their name in a permanent type marker next to their bug. We give them to our classroom helpers/parents/volunteers at the end of the year. They will never forget us. 🙂
