Why
wait for the seeds to grow before you can enjoy your pot plants
again?
Follow our step-by-step guide to customise your own plain white plan pot.
Decorate
the Saucer:
- Measure
the inside circumference of the saucer & cut a strip of velvet
ribbon to length leaving 2cm excess. Lay the ribbon face down &
glue the tips of green tusk sequins along the length of ribbon.
- Once
the grass strip is done, glue another length of thinner satin ribbon
on top of the sequin tips to sandwich them in place for extra
security.
- Glue
gun the sequined strip to the inside of the saucer, with the velvet
ribbon face-out. Trim the excess length at the seam.
- Finish off the
grass by gluing the odd yellow & red sequin daisy onto the tusks.
- Complete
the pot by sticking a length of retro polka dot ribbon around the
outside using double-sided tape.
- Tip 1:
randomly place the tusks facing left & right to create a natural
grassy effect
- Tip 2:
use velvet ribbon to glue the sequins to, the glue will not show
through the thicker material
Decorate
the Pot:
- Measure
the outside circumference of the rim of the pot & cut green
rainbow ribbon to length leaving 2cm excess. Stick the ribbon to the
rim & trim the excess at the seam.
- Choose
a selection of sequinned butterfly & bug appliqués like the ones below to decorate
the pot.
- Lay each motif face down & attach random lengths of colour-coordinated wire to the back.
- Jazzy up the wire by wrapping it
around your pencil creating a spiral effect. Or for a subtler look,
thread a few green seed beads on the wire and secure in place with a
small blob of clear super glue.
- Glue
gun the motif backs in place around your pot.
- Sandwich the
wire ends to the base of the pot with another strip of ribbon. The
saucer will hide this.
- Tip:
use double sided tape on satin ribbons; this avoids any lumps showing
through
