Modge Podge Flower Pots


Look! a Pregnant Lady's perfect Saturday afternoon! a Modge Podge project and a Decaf Coffee Frappe!

But really, I made this for my mother in law in the beginning of July, and Mothers day was in May. Of course I can say that I thought of the idea in May, It just didn't happen right away.  

My In law's live on a wonderful organic Haven in Iowa!  They grow beautiful organic vegetables, they have fruit trees and fruit bushes, and they also have a wide variety of pretty plants all over their property!

I saw someone in " Blogland" during the spring who made Modge Podge Flower pots. I wanted to make them for my mother in law. Since her outdoor space is very  natural, I wanted to decorate them that way. 


I found some " natural" looking scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby.  and Modge Podged them onto the flower pots.



I did find it challenging to get the paper to Match up correctly around the pot. I just kept cutting the paper to make it look as nice as possible




This is the Rock Paper mixed with the Sky Paper.

I mixed the Wood paper with the grass paper



Wa La! Finished product!

  8. do you need to "seal" them with some type of varnish or something so they don't fade in the sun? They are soooo cool!

    Thanks!
