I picked up these beautiful purple flowers over the week-end and decided to spruce up a couple of plain pots into something special.
A quick and easy project to dress up your flower pots for summer.
“bloom where you are planted”
A little Inspiration for my Summer Flowers…
I’m not sure if it’s a subliminal message or a direct request. (to my plants that is)
BLOOM!
Here's what you'll need to make a DIY Bloom planter…
(*affiliate link)
- Terra Cotta Pot
- White Deco Art Outdoor Living Paint*
- Acrylic Paint (Purple Cow)
- Deco Art Americana Decor Angle Flat Brush, 1-Inch
- Very Fine Sandpaper
- Stylemark: Purple Ultra Metallic Glitter Vinyl
- Vinyl Transfer Tape
- Silhouette Cameo
Paint terra cotta pot with 2 coats of white Outdoor Living paint from DecoArt.
Brush a thin layer of purple paint along top band. (no need to be perfect)
I used DecoArt Purple Cow acrylic paint.
Lightly sand pot for a distressed look.
Using a cut file and the Silhouette Cameo*, cut the saying out of the purple glitter vinyl. There are so many wonderful premade sayings you can create using the Cameo machine. Or you can create your own personalized message.
Apply the saying onto the pot using transfer paper. Smooth into place and remove transfer paper.
I also created a second planter out of an old blue ceramic pot.
The blue ceramic planter was plain and simple until I added stripes using the glitter vinyl, and applied the light blue glittered vinyl words using a Vinyl Transfer Tape. What a difference it makes. Personalized planters would make a great Housewarming or Hostess gift.
Adding the adhesive vinyl transfer. It was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo 2 and applied on to the ceramic pot using a special transfer paper made for vinyl. Glitter Vinyl and Transfer paper made by Stylemark from Tape Technologies.
