Terra Cotta Pot Spring Wreath-Easy DIY

Once the black paint has dried, apply the white paint using slightly more coverage. You still want to see touches of the black paint and terra cotta color coming through the paint.

This process should go very quickly. Chalk Paint dries fast and therefore, you will be ready to begin the next step soon.

Last year I shared How to Age Clay Pots and although I love that technique, you don’t want to do anything that involved for this project. That tutorial is more suited for your larger pots.

Next, you will begin to attach the terra cotta pots to the grapevine wreath.

First, cut lengths of the jute string approx. 3 ft. long. This allows you plenty of string to work with.

Run the jute sting through the hole in the bottom of the pots. I choose to add two of the small pots to one length of jute string in some areas.

Begin adding the terra cotta pots to wreath

Next, you will want to attached the terra cotta pots to the wreath by securing them tightly with the jute sting.

In order to fill the wreath tightly with the pots, I alternated between medium and small pots. In addition, be sure to place the pots facing inward and outward randomly around the wreath. You can see how closely each pot is place in the photo below.

After all the pots are secure, hang your wreath to make sure it looks balanced and that all the pots are securely tied.

Add Flowers and Greenery

Finally, you are ready to start adding some color.

Begin by securing styrofoam into random pots with hot glue.

Next, add spanish moss to some pots and to cover the styrofoam by applying hot glue. In addition, begin adding flowers and greenery randomly.

Cut the flower stem close to the actual flower bud using wire snips. You don’t want a long stem. Then push the wire stems into the styrofoam or hot glue into the spanish moss.

Use Your Creative Eye to Finish the Wreath

Finally, hang your wreath again and see how it looks to you. I try to make sure it looks balanced and that any excess jute strings have been cut away. Add more spanish moss or flowers to any area that looks bare or exposed.

The perfect spot for this wreath will be on my DIY Greenhouse which you can see here. Thanks for stopping by.
