4th of July Flower Pot plus more Crafts and Recipes!

06/29/18 | 2015 Summer Fun, Uncategorized

The 4th of July is almost here and I love this easy 4th of July Flower Pot! It is cute and easy and will look great on your porch or patio this summer!

4th of July Flower Pot

I have some great crafts and recipes to share with you but first, I’m all about easy DIY projects and this easy 4th of July planter doesn’t get any easier and is sure to get compliments from everyone.

4th of July Flower Pot


Supplies needed

  • Terra Cotta Pot
  • Red Acrylic Paint
  • White Acrylic Paint 
  • Blue Acrylic Paint
  • Foam brush
  • Small Paint Brush
  • Star Stickers
  • Sandpaper

Instructions:

  1. Start by adding your star stickers to the rim of the flower pot.  I used a thick, foamy sticker so that they would pop out.
  2. Paint the rim of the pot blue.  You can paint right over the top of the stickers!  I also painted around the rim of the inside of my pot.
  3. Paint the lower half of the pot white.  Luckily the paint will dry on the terra cotta pretty quickly, so no down time!
  4. Then, using your foam brush you are going to create a red stripe right under the rim.  You can use masking tape if you want, but it’s not necessary.  The foam brush has a steady line that will help.  Your lines don’t have to be perfect.  That is part of the charm of this project!
  5. Then, create a red stripe around the base of the pot.
  6. Now that you have your top and bottom lines painted it will be easier for you to eyeball your middle two strips.  Paint them on.
  7. Paint over the star stickers with white paint and let dry.
  8. If you would like, use sandpaper to lightly sand some of the paint away.  This will give it a distressed and aged look.
  9. Plant your favorite flowers and enjoy!

I love watching my teen play golf for his high sch I love watching my teen play golf for his high school team.
