Flower Pot
Posted on Thursday, March 25th, 2010 at 6:17 pmUgg anyone decorated a flower pot?
Ok I am making my Mom and Mom in law a pot with mixed plants I am using ivy, pansies,geraniums and i the center a spikie like Rhea. My ? is I want to take picutres of my daughters and glue to the pot decorate the pot wiht snap shots and then a gloss sill on it. Any suggestions.
My suggestion is to plant the plants in normal pots, then buy a bigger pot, (in terracotta or acrylic-painted metal, no texture to the surface), to decopupage the pictures on. Pictures will not stay stuck to a pot that gets wet!
Rough up the surface of the outer pot a little with some sand paper. Get high quality copies of your photos made: either print them yourself on regular copy paper or have copes done at a copy shop. Photo paper does not decoupage well.
With a paint brush, apply decoupage medium to the pot where you would like the photo to go, then carefully lay the photo over that spot and gently rub to remove air bubbles. Apply another coat of medium over the photo. Repeat as desired.
You can get the decoupage medium at a craft store, as well as disposable foam brushes. If you want to totally cover the pot with images, use photos AND copies of your children's art work. Your mother and mother in law will LOVE it!
