I sure hope you all are happy and healthy.
Before the shutdown, I bought these pots at my local Dollar Tree store.
They were perfectly fine the way they were, loved the designs, but I saw color.
So I bought 9 of them!
I painted them the colors I use in my home, using my craft paint and a sponge brush.
I left the inside of the pots the clay color, and I painted the rest.
Pots take paint well, only a couple of coats were needed.
So, here’s a little photo show of what I did with my pots.
Of course, I potted plants in some.
I painted and added some pot saucers which I already had on hand.
You can use one or many on your porch or patio to hold a candle during the evening hours. A must for me at night sitting outside.
My favorite look was putting a saucer on a pot turned upside down to hold a candle for my living room.
Love the butter yellow color.
The design in the pot really shows up when painted.
Taking two saucers, one small, one large, along with one of the pots, turned upside down, makes a great serving piece.
You can glue together with E6000 glue, but it is not necessary.
Using the same set up, you could make a jewelry holder for your dresser.
The pots work great as containers on a table to hold silverware. So cute for an outdoor gathering.
I plan to place one on my husband’s dresser to hold his loose change, just not happy when it is all over the place!
A pretty shade of blue pot was placed on a nightstand to hold those things I use before bed. Glasses for reading, pens for writing in my journal, and the cream I use every night.
The pots can easily be stacked and stored until needed.
I like to store several on my kitchen shelf, the colors of my kitchen.
Cute!
Well, what do you all think?
I think I got a lot for my $9!
What fun, there are endless uses for pots.
You can do the same with regular clay pots and craft paint.
A fun project during these times in our lives to keep busy.
Hope you all are staying safe during all the trouble in our world.
Being creative with my simple projects helps me.
With love and good thoughts, until next time.
