Good afternoon everyone! Today I am joining Cindy for Show and Tell Friday.
I have a little Spring-time craft to share with you.
First of all, let me say that I love little clay pots because you can do so much with them! I started off with a plain clay pot. I spray painted it white and glued in a piece of florist foam. Then I dabbed on aqua paint with some scrunched-up Glad wrap. I let that dry and then dabbed on pink paint with scrunched-up Glad wrap. I let it dry and then went over it with dabs of white paint, using again, scrunched-up Glad wrap. This gives the pot an antiqued look.
Then I glued in Spanish moss to look like a bird's nest.
Next, I glued in flowers and tied on a sheer ribbon. Lastly, I glued in three little eggs. 
This is what it looks like with a little birdie in my livingroom.

I also did a rose pot; again spray painting the pot white. Glued in Spanish moss, leaves, and a rose.
I glued on some lace, and here it is in the bathroom.

It's easy and cute for Spring-time decor. Have a lovely day everyone. Be sure to check out all the other participants at Cindy's. Click on the link to go there. http://romantichome.blogspot.com/

Oh your blog is so pretty! So are the little pots. I could only see two of them, the rest of the pictures didnt' come up. I dont know if it's my computer or blogger but it's happening at every blog I visit.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! I will stop back in when the pictures are showing up better.
This is really a cute idea. I love clay pots, too. I use them in their natural state but LOVE this pretty white one!

That's a great idea. I like the texture it made with the glad wrap. I might have to do one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, it's so nice to meet you. I love little pots too, they are so much fun to work with. Love how you used the nest and then the rose with lace. They make such sweet little gifts! I'd love to see some of your friend's art work, it sounds wonderful!
