Here is the guest post I did for Lil Luna last week in case you missed it! Here’s how to make DIY confetti inspired terra cotta pots.
I had wanted to make a quick and simple craft that anyone could try for Mother’s Day. I’m in full spring fever mode. You know my love for indoor and outdoor plants. I think that you absolutely can’t go wrong with gifting a plant! This craft is inspired by my love for gold and confetti inspired art.
Supplies Needed
- Any kind of basic pot works for this project. I love to pick up pots at thrift stores because they are already “worn” looking, which I love. And I love the look of a terra cotta pot. These can also be purchased for cheap almost any store this time of year.
- Three different sheets of gold scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby
- 1” circle punch
- Mod Podge
Add the Confetti to the Terra Cotta Pot
Start by punching out several circles using the circle punch and scrap book paper. Next, adhere the circles to your pot in random order with Mod Podge. I used a small paint brush to brush Mod Podge on the back of each circle. It is a good idea to take your finger and press the paper onto the pot so it doesn’t peel back. Once all of your circles are added, add an entire thin layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal the paper circles to the pot.
Add Plants to Your Pots
Allow dry time to make sure all of the scrapbook paper is fully adhered to the pot. Then you can add your favorite plant (begonia on the left, lemon button fern on the right).
Homemade Gift Tags for Your Confetti Inspired Terra Cotta Pots
Because I want to make these extra special, I also made little homemade gift tags to tie to the plant. They are made from simple white tags you can purchase at any craft store. Add a gold circle to the end with a glue stick and hole punched a space to tie kitchen twine to the plant.
For this tag, I added a little Washi tape to embellish it even more.
I think the gold “confetti” makes these pots really festive and fun! Homemade is always a good idea, don’t you think?! I hope this post inspired you on how to make DIY confetti inspired terra cotta pots. XO
