Update Trends..... Going Green!
Do you love chalkboard paint as much as I do?
I'm always looking for fun ways to use chalkboard paint.
These terra cotta pots are easy to decorate and fun to use.
Here I put mine under a cloche.
All I did was add potting soil a sprinkle of grass seed and a little water.
Then I covered the terra cotta pots with the glass cloche and the grass seed sprouted.

Paint the terra cotta pots with chalkboard paint and let dry.

Next you need burlap. Here I used the oyster color. Burlap threads are easy to pull out. Wrap the threads around the terra cotta pots using white glue as you go.
Next your need white fabric a rubber stamp,

Cut out your design and glue it onto your terra cotta pot. Add a rhinestone or two.
Here I added some candles to the inside of the terra cotta pots.
In the spring I'll fill some of the terra cotta pots with flowers.

The other side of the pot is for writing notes with chalk.
Maybe I'll fill one pot full to the rim with chalk.
Here I used a glass candle I purchased from IKEA.
The glass candle fits perfectly in the terra cotta pots.
These chalkboard terra cotta pots make
great gifts!

They look beautiful Dee. I always adore a lovely fleur de lis. Great work.
Warmly, ~Melissa
Oh how cute. I just might have to do this with my pots so I can write the name of the flower/plant on them and how often they need water and food. I never remember otherwise. Very cute! Love the jute at the top too. I have a huge, huge roll I bought close to forty years ago that would work perfectly for a project like this too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Melissa,
Thanks! I had fun creating the pots.
Dee
I’m so glad I inspired you Becky.
