How to Make

Upcycled Flower Pots  For Spring

Let me show you how easy it is to turn inexpensive dollar store flower pots into beautiful fabric covered planters with just a few inexpensive supplies.

SUPPLIES FOR UPCYCLED FLOWER POTS

– Small Terra Cotta Flower Pots – Mod Podge – Foam Brushes – Fabric Scissors – Craft Knife – Fabric – Clear Sealer – DecoArt White Chalk Paint

STEP 1. TRACE THE FLOWER POT

Start by placing the flower pot on top of your fabric. Mark where you want to cut it ensuring you leave enough room for the top and bottom.

STEP 2. CUT THE FABRIC

Use fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to cut the fabric where you marked it. The great thing about using thin fabric is you can actually tear it once you have a small cut.

STEP 3. APPLY MOD PODGE

Use your foam brush to apply mod podge directly to the flower pot. I used a tin flower pot from Dollar Tree for the sunflower fabric, but you follow these same steps for the terra cotta pots. Give it a nice even coat and let it dry for a minute or so. 

STEP 4. APPLY THE FABRIC

Place the fabric onto the flower pot and press it down to smooth out any wrinkles.

STEP 5. TRIM ANY EXCESS FABRIC

If there are any loose pieces or strings of fabric use a craft knife or fabric scissors to remove them.

STEP 6. COVER THE EDGE WITH TWINE

For the large tin flower pot, I covered the edge with an extra piece of twine. The twine really looked pretty against the sunflowers.

STEP 7. COVER WITH ANOTHER COAT OF MOD PODGE

In order to protect the fabric from the elements, you want to add another coat or two of mod podge. You should also spray it with a clear sealer.

Little Truck Fabric Covered Flower Pots

I picked up 2 sets of terra cotta pots from Dollar Tree. They are about 3″ which is a bargain for $1.25 for two!
