Home And Garden Terra Cotta Pot Decorations

 Hi everyone! 

How have you all been? I took last week off from doing any DIY projects.

 It was excellent. I was able to spend some much-needed quality time with my family. 

We spent a lot of time outdoors. 

We are still repairing our window well, so there were many trips to pick up materials. 

 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.

Materials


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


Applying paint to terra cotta saucers

Two terra cotta saucers with acrylic paint and paintbrush nearby.

Start by taking your paintbrush and applying acrylic paint to each clay saucer. 
Set your clay saucers aside and allow them to fully dry.

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. 


Attaching saucers to pots

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.

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.

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.

    Looks nice. When I see a butterfly, I always think about the quote that says, "Butterflies are self-propelled flowers!" Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 120. Pinned.

    Oh, my! Too cute! I had a small succulent gnome garden, I made several years ago, and I ended up giving it away. I purchased a ton of fairy garden ornaments, houses, and decor for a fairy garden about 3 months ago and forgot all about it until just now when I seen your post. I think I am going to incorporate your ideas and create another one! Thank you for sharing!

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. It has been pretty rainy these past few days. I'm enjoying the rainy weather compared to the really hot days we were getting before.  Today we are working on building a wood box centerpiece. Instead of using the wood crate boxes from Dollar Tree, I wanted to build my own box. For this project, we're using a wood fence picket.
