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!

A Touch of Spring: Faux Rose & Wildflower Beaded Wreath Tutorial

Today I’m sharing a soft and delicate spring wreath that comes together beautifully with just a few simple supplies. I’m using a beaded wood wreath as my base, along with faux yellow roses, pink artificial wildflowers, and a bit of foliage to bring everything to life. This project is perfect if you’re looking to add a gentle pop of color and a touch of spring charm to your home. Video tutorial  Supplies You’ll Need Beaded wood wreath Faux yellow roses Pink artificial wildflowers Faux foliage Floral/wire cutters Craft wire Trim Your Florals I started by using my floral cutters to trim the stems of each flower. Make sure the stems are short enough to fit nicely against the wreath, but long enough to secure them with wire. Adjust the length to suit your design and the level of fullness you want in your wreath. I began by cutting my yellow roses first. Prepare Your Craft Wire and  Attach the Roses After I trimmed the roses, I cut small sections of craft wire. These will be u...

Fall Floral Display Using Glass Yogurt Jars

 Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season of them all. I love the golden leaves, hot apple cider by the fire pit, sitting out in the evenings roasting marshmallows. It is simply the best for me. Do you have a favorite season? What do you enjoy about it?  Today I am sharing a quick upcycle craft. I decided to use my glass Oui yogurt jars. I love these little jars and what a perfect way to reuse them.

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating your blossom branch tree. The best part is that this project requires just a few simple materials, and you can even repurpose a section of a tree branch. Alternatively, you can use a smaller section of a tree branch or one similar to the one I am using. So, if you're ready to start, come along and create your blossom branch tree with me. DIY Faux Blossom Branch Tree video tutorial Materials  Section of branches from a tree in my yard faux florals and leaves hot glue  A planter pot Floral cutters  A foam floral block, and optional rocks After inserting your tree branch into the foam block, you can add rocks on top.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table.

Create a Tissue Holder from a Plastic Container

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Do any of you have any plastic containers at home? I recently finished a product and after cleaning the container, I wondered what I could reuse it for. I decided to make a tissue holder. It's a simple project and a great way to reuse a plastic container with a lid. I'll guide you through each step and provide some suggestions. If you're ready, let's make your personalized tissue holder. Video tutorial Materials: - Plastic container - Decorative paper or paper bag - Acrylic paint - Scissors - Hot glue - Paintbrush - Craft knife (You may also need sandpaper and floral cutters or other snips) Begin by applying several coats of acrylic paint with a paintbrush, allowing each coat to dry. Next, use scissors to cut out the decorative sections you want for your container. I'm using a decorative paper bag I bought in a pack at my local Dollar Tree. After cutting out each decorative section, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge w...
