Flower Pot Fairy Garden

You know how when you're married, each spouse takes on the duties they are good at / like to do?
Well I do all of the decorating on the inside of the house, and Topher takes care of the landscaping outside of the house.
Yesterday, I decided to shake things up a little bit around here, and I crossed the line in the sand and ventured to outdoor land. Mind you ... I didn't venture further than the front steps, but I do what I can.

Yesterday, I decided to shake things up a little bit around here, and I crossed the line in the sand and ventured to outdoor land. Mind you ... I didn't venture further than the front steps, but I do what I can.
For this project, I needed to take a section out of the side of this pot, so I pulled-out my Dremel (loaded with a carbide cutting tip), covered-up with my facemask, and threw on my trusty 3M safety goggles.
Once I had my section removed, I was ready to fill the pot with soil.
I filled-in my pot with potting soil and found a place for the removed section of terra cotta.
Next, I placed moss all over the surface and around the half-buried section.
Enjoyed the project?

Natalie on Feb 24, 2016Terra cotta pots often get broken or chipped anyway, and that's an awesome idea of what could be done with such pots instead of throwing them away. I use mine in flowerbeds so that the chipped parts don't show much, but this is way better!
