Decoupage Flowerpot
Gardeners will love this flowerpot whether it's outside in the garden or inside on the windowsill.
with the colorful seed packets.
- Old or new seed packets
- Decorative-edge scissors, if desired
- Terra-cotta pot (we used an 8-inch pot)
- Mod Podge decoupage medium
- Sunflower seeds
1. Cut out the seed packet fronts, emptying the seeds into separate labeled plastic bags, if necessary. Trim the edges of the seed packets with decorative-edged scissors, if desired. 2. Arrange the seed packets on the pot, overlapping and cutting tops and bottoms as needed. Paint back of seed packets with the decoupage medium and press to the surface of the pot. When all of the packets are attached to the pot, coat the entire outside of the pot with the decoupage medium and let dry. 3. Attach sunflower seeds, arranged like flower petals, onto the pot as desired using decoupage medium as the glue. When dry, give the entire outside of the pot one more coat of decoupage medium. Allow to dry.
- Try this same technique using postcards, old stamps, or pieces cut from greeting cards.
- This decoupaged flowerpot does double duty as a holder for garden markers, seed packets, or small hand tools.

I've done this project several times with pictures of my kids, and I've given them to the grandmas for mothers day. I also just gave one to my son's kindergarten teacher with all of the kids pictures on it, along with some fun school related ribbon to trim out the top rim. She loved it, and it was a perfect thank you gift for the end of a wonderful year!
