Instructions
| Step 1. Gather your supplies.
| |
| Step 2.
Paint your flower pot, and let dry. |
| Step 3.
While your flower pot is drying, draw and cut several flower and grass shapes from construction paper. If desired, download our template which you can find by clicking the “template” button. For our pot, we created (3) pink flowers, (3) green grass sections, (3) yellow curvy strips and (3) yellow circles for the flowers’ centers. |
| Step 4.
Once your pot is dry, add decoupage glue to the lower edge of the pot, using a Foam Brush. |
| Step 5.
Place a piece of the grass to the lower edge of the pot. Apply decoupage glue over the grass. Repeat to cover the lower edge of the pot with grass shapes. |
| Step 6.
Add more decoupage glue, place additional shapes and cover in more decoupage glue. We added the yellow strips along the top edge of the flower pot. Allow the glue to dry. |
| Step 7.
Pour a small amount of decoupage glue into a small container. Pour some Glitter into the container and stir with a brush to mix. This will help create a sealant for the glitter after it’s applied to your craft and will lessen the amount of Glitter transfered onto other surfaces. |
| Step 8.
Using a Large Brush to cover the flower pot with the glittered glue. Tip: When the decoupage glue is wet it looks white but the glue will dry clear and shiny. |
| Step 9.
Repeat with different mixes of glittered decoupage glue to create unique effects! On our flower pot, we use blue glitter on the rim and multi-colored glittered glue around the base of the flower pot. Allow your glue to dry before added real flowers and displaying in your home! |
