Over the years we've accumulated a fairly large collection
of pots. I love bright, fresh flowers
and because I can’t narrow down my selections to just a few, we end up buying a
bunch of random flowers. We plant them
in pots because the AZ soil isn't exactly the best for growing much. The plants come in those cheap, ugly pots and
we always re-pot them in bigger, pretty pots.
That leaves us with a lot of those cheap, ugly pots. I never knew what to do with them and I’d end
up recycling them or throwing them away.
Finally I have found a way to use them!
While we were at sprouts this weekend I found some beautiful
mums that needed a home. Lucky for them,
I thought they’d look great in my outdoor pumpkin explosion/Halloween display.
While looking through our pots, I found a faded large
plastic pot that needed some sprucing up.
I spray painted on a couple coats of gold paint and let it dry for a
good hour. Then I painted “BOO” on it
using some black Martha Stewart paint and sponges. I got the stencils at Michaels, no idea what
brand they are, but I love them.
Here's what I started with
And ta da.....
The best thing was that I already had everything on hand, so
my new BOO pot was free!
I’ll be posting pics later this week with the rest of my
outdoor holiday decor!
