Are you planning on doing some planting this spring and summer? Don't toss those utilitarian [aka: ugly] nursery pots that flowers, bushes and vines come in. With a good cleaning and some paint, turn them into fun and bright flowery front door decor.
Using your scissors, cut a slit from top to bottom. About halfway down, begin to cut across the pot. You should end up with two pieces.
Take the bottom part of the pot and cut small, downward slits around the circumference. Fold down these slits to make a flower. Cut leaf shapes from the remaining top part of the flower pot.
Once cleaned, use paints designed for adhering to plastic and add color to these formerly ugly black pots. Once dry, layout the flowers onto a piece of chicken wire and secure each piece with some floral wire.
Fold down the ends of the chicken wire so you don't scratch yourself or worse, scratch your front door! Insert a ribbon and hang.

Sooo cute! I just recycled about 10 of these pots in various sizes because my tiny garden table was overflowing... Darn now I'll have to start collecting again. Lol
