I have a really quick and easy (and cute!) DIY project for you today. Perfect for a last minute handmade Mother’s Day gift. They have such sweet little succulents in the garden department at Lowe’s, and I wanted to make an equally pretty container for this little one we picked up the other day. You know me, I always have glitter and mod podge around, so I decided to glitter up a tiny terra cotta pot.
You will need:
:: small plant (I chose a succulent)
:: small terra cotta pot (mine is 2″ in diameter, the smallest size they had at JoAnn Fabrics)
:: mod podge
:: glitter (I love Martha Stewart Glitter
)(affiliate link)
:: paint brush
Brush mod podge all over your pot.
Cover with glitter and let dry.
Insert your plant…all done!
Look how cute and teeny and glittery!
Now I want to go get several of these guys and do more pots in different pastel colors…
Linking up to some of these parties.
