How to Decorative Flowerpots for Kids Room

I love this project I did three flowerpots for under $10 and it makes a very cute and custom decoration for my daughters nursery.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• flower pot
• wood flowers
• paint
• fake moss
• styrofoam
• painters tape
• craft glue

1. First I bought some cheep pots from the craft store. Then I found wood ready to paint flowers on a stick. Pick out the colors that match your room. I used the same acrylic paint I used to paint the letters of her name I hung. All products were purchased at Michaels for under $10.

2. First I tape the top with blue painters tape and painted the bottom with 2-3 coats depending on the color. Then after they have completely dried remove tape and tape around the bottom and paint the top in a different color.

3. Paint the top of your flower whatever color you would like then when it fully dry put a little painters tape over flower and paint stem green.

4. Put styrofoam in pot tightly. Put flower in foam with a little glue so it stays put. Glue moss to top of foam.

5. Now all you have to do is find a place your baby will not reach and display them. Be careful because if it is a place that can be bumped into you may want to glue them down.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful to keep this out of kids reach and fastened to furniture.
