DIY: Message Flower Pots

I am currently updating my clay pots to give them a
fresh new look for summer.
The idea is to set the mood for a bright,
clean and crisp feel to the back patio area
and prepare it for entertaining family and friends this summer.
I just needed to give my old flower pots a new look,
so I did what any girl would do, I painted them.

Unlike the Flower Pot Makeover I did here,
I decided to use a simple semi-sheen white spray paint.

What you need for this project:

*Clay pot
*Spray paint (white)
*Chalk board label or chalk board paint
*Sharpie marker


1. Before anything, make sure that your clay pot is clean and dry.
2. Using your can of paint, spray pot evenly,
you may have to give it two coats depending on your paint.
Set to dry.
3. Once your pot is dry, you may add a chalkboard label or
chalkboard paint to your pot.
4. Now your pot is ready for your gardening messages.

Another idea is to use a sharpie pen to create a
permanent hand written message such as seen below.

I recommend writing out your message with a pencil first,
then go over it with the sharpie pen to prevent errors.



Do  you love it?
I sure do!
Great for gift giving.
Hope that you enjoy!
Happy Crafting!

  28. These are too cute! I have seen plates like this (using a marker and then put in the oven to set). The chalkboard one is super good as you can reuse with different plants.
    Thanks!
