This is a simple-to-make flowerpot that is great as a gift.

Supplies Needed:
  • Unglazed clay (terracotta) flowerpot
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paintbrushes
  • Optional – A pack of seeds or potting soil and a young plant
  • Optional – Cellophane and ribbon to wrap the plant pot and plant

Instructions

1.

Using acrylic paints, decorate a clay paint pot. Butterflies, plants, or polka dots are nice, simple decorations. If you will be adding a plant to the flowerpot, a painting of that plant is a nice touch.

Let it dry completely.

Optional: fill the plant pot with potting soil and plant the seed of a fast-growing flower (like marigolds) or put in a small plant (herbs like chives are a nice choice).

Wrap with cellophane, and tie with a pretty ribbon.
