Does any body have ideas for making cheap plastic pots look expensive?

Douglas Hunt on Jan 03, 2012Pique assiette, a mosaic traditionally made from broken pieces of plates, is usually done using a terra cotta base, but I'll bet that if your plastic pot was stiff enough you could use it: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Pique-Assiette-Mosaic Would take longer than painting, but it could be a great winter project.Helpful Reply

Yamini LEED AP at Urbanmotifs on Jan 03, 2012Marvin, see what this designer did to this plastic pot - http://www.hometalk.com/activity/101914 Try Anne Sloan chalk paint, stencil motifs. You could also paint chalk board paint and write the name of the plants on the pot.Helpful Reply
