It's a Wrap.
Envelop a pot in fabric and ribbon. Cut a square of fabric 10 inches
larger than your pot's height. Place the pot in the center of the
fabric. Cut the corners to remove excess fabric. Fold fabric to the
inside of the pot and hot glue the edges to secure. Turn the pot
upside down and tie a ribbon around the pot, just below the rim. Fringe Flowerpot
On the Fringe.
Spray paint the pot blue. Let dry. Paint five wooden bows with
cream-color acrylic paint. Let dry. Highlight the bows with blue
spray paint. Divide the pot evenly into five sections and mark
placement of bows. Hot glue pieces of fringed trim to the pot at each
point, loosely swagging trim between the points. Glue the bows on top
of the trim, hiding seams where trim overlaps. If you want to use
this pot for planting, seal the outside before Fabric Flowerpot Fabric Flourishes
Adorn a painted
pot with patterns clipped from a favorite fabric. Choose an acrylic

Posey Flowerpot
Painted Posies.
Spray paint the pot a neutral base color; we used celery. Let dry.

flowers, like daisies or tulips, at evenly spaced intervals around
the pot. Decorate the pot's rim with white painted scallops. After
the paint has dried, spray the pot with acrylic sealer. If you want
to use this pot for planting, seal the outside before painting or use
a plastic liner. 	 Floral Fantasy. Use leftovers from silk floral arrangements to create an everblooming pot. Lay out your pattern before you begin gluing flowers to the pot. Hot glue leaves along the base of the pot, leaving some open spaces. Add a layer of flowers and different leaves above the first row of leaves, tucking stems inside larger leaves. Cover three-quarters of the pot with flowers and foliage. Glue leaves so they extend onto the rim of the pot. If you want to use this pot for planting, use a plastic liner. DESIGNER: SUSAN NERI
