How to Decorate Flower Pots
Do you love to buy decorated flower pots? Some of them can be quite expensive. You can now customize your own. There is no limit to your design. If you can print it, you can make it! *Imagination is all you need to create one of a kind flower pots within minutes.
(There are no messy glues or paints needed.)
(There are no messy glues or paints needed.)
For this project I used my laser printer, printer paper, terra cotta pots and a woodworker’s transfer tool.
That’s all you need to get started. Print out your design using your laser printer. Cut your picture down to size to fit your terra cotta pot. Now heat up your woodworker's transfer tool. (Be careful as it heats up pretty fast.)
Watch my video to learn how to use the woodworker's transfer tool.

Here you can see the image is starting to appear on the pot. I just rubbed the woodworker's transfer tool back and forth on the paper. *The heat from the woodworker's transfer tool melts the toner off the paper. Pretty cool huh! The terra cotta pots inside can get quite warm while you’re working with the woodworker's transfer tool. Be careful not to touch in there while you’re transferring your image.
You can print in color or black and white. The terra cotta pots work well with either as you can see.

Hello @Dee - A Lapin Life , I love these decorative pots. I am wondering if your woodworking transfer pen would work to transfer a print to a canvas?
