mod podge rocks on terra cotta pottas. (say that five times fast)

I love me some mod podge. and i love when I get to use some to things i have been craft hoarding...
remember this book? (click HERE for a refresher course.)
Well took the scraps

and another terra cotta pot (serious...anyone getting sick of terra cotta pots? me? Yes.)


and started to mod podge.

took some brown paint and watered it down....and got it in all those little wrinkles and crevices and then wiped most of it off.

Then I took a beautiful picture of a flower out of a better homes and garden magazine:

cut it out and mod podged that sucker on too!
added some twine and painted the base
and put in a tulip
pretty pretty. It looks like spring (too bad it snowed here today!)
***This would make a great mother's day gift!

ALSO.
I had all these seed packets...I thought the envelopes would be so pretty all mod podge around a pot
but I didn't do this...because-- get this....my terra cotta pot pile is dangerously low.
I know.
Take that husband.



Just in case you haven't seen my other terra cotta projects:

    That is awesome. I also love the 3 tiered dessert tray! I have yet to do a terra cotta pot project, but this post is proof that I shouldn't wait much longer. There's so much potential.

    I have three bags of supplies sitting on my family room floor just waiting for me to find time to do your terra cotta pot projects!

    You've been helping me keep JoAnn Fabric and Lowe's in business! LOL!

    Thanks for such great projects!

    Very cute!! Such great ideas for Terry Cotta pots. I was just thinking earlier this week if you could modpodge terra cotta- I should have realized that you can modpodge anything.

    i love this... I went for a family walk the other day and saw a terra cotta pot (three actually hanging upside down) and used as wind chimes they were all painted and so pretty and then you had your posts.... now I must start some terra cotta projests of my own... My favorite so fare is the dessert tray. FABULOUS!
