Decoupage Flower Pots

Seed packets are the inspiration for this bright and cheery flower pot.

From the magazine, Simply Handmade Gifts

What You Need:

Old or new seed packets
Decorative-edge scissors
Terra-cotta pot
Mod Podge decoupage medium
Sunflower seeds

Instructions:

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.
