Dress humble flowerpots in paint and trims to create pretty containers you'll want to use for more than just plants.

Wedding Decoration ProjectsWrapped Flowerpot

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. Wedding Decoration ProjectsSecure ribbon with hot glue. Turn the pot right side up. Tie a bow with long tails. Secure with hot glue. If you want to use this pot for planting, use a plastic liner.

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 Wedding Decorations you can makepainting or use a plastic liner. 	

Fabric Flowerpot

Fabric Flourishes

Adorn a painted pot with patterns clipped from a favorite fabric. Choose an acrylic paint color that coordinates or contrasts with your fabric and base-coat the pot. Let dry. Cut out three or four pattern repeats from fabric. Cut these patterns into smaller ones. Spread a thin layer of white glue on the back of fabric pieces and adhere them to the pot. Turn the pot as you work. Finish with a spray sealer. If you want to use this pot for planting, use a plastic liner.

 
Stamped Flowerpot

Stamp of Approval. Achieve a handpainted look with rubber stamps and paint markers. To use this pot for planting, seal the outside with gesso or all-purpose sealer. Base-coat with white acrylic paint. Let dry. Practice stamping on paper to develop a design. Combine several different stamps for interest. Lightly stamp the design onto the pot. Go over the stamp marks with markers and fill in with extra details, like shoots of grass, if desired. Let dry one day. Spray with two light coats of acrylic sealer. 	

Ribbon Flowerpot

Beribboned Elegance. Dress a plain pot in fancy finery with scraps of wired ribbon and fringe trim. Spray paint the pot lavender. Let dry. Cut four pieces of ribbon to fit down the sides of the pot. Hot glue to the pot vertically, at evenly spaced intervals. Fold ends under before gluing for a finished edge. Cut a piece of fringed trim to fit around the rim of the pot and secure with a few drops of glue. If you want to use this pot for planting, seal the outside before painting or use a plastic liner.

Posey Flowerpot

Painted Posies. Spray paint the pot a neutral base color; we used celery. Let dry. Using an artist's brush and acrylic paints, paint simple freehand 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 Flowerpot

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.
