Flower Pot Wreath Tutorial
Here's a fun way to take a bunch of terracotta pots and create a wreath for your front door.
Yield: 1
Cost: $55
Equipment
- 1 Wire Cutter
- 1 Paintbrush
Materials
- 7 3 inch clay pots
- 12 1.9 inch clay pots
- 12 2.5 inch clay pots
- 1 18 inch wire wreath frame
- various craft paints
- floral wire
- styrofoam
- 38 faux succulents
Instructions
- Clean any dirt or dust from your terracotta pots.
- Paint the pots as desired or just leave them in their original clay color. Be sure to paint a little inside and the bottoms of the pots as those areas will show.
- Place your succulents in each pot and take a picture so you will remember which plant goes in each pot.
- Starting with the largest pots (3 inch) thread about 12 inches of floral wire through the top and bottom drainage hole of each pot.
- Then attach each pot at equal intervals to the wire wreath frame by twisting the wire together on the backside. You can place a couple upright and maybe one or two upsidedown if you like.
- Continue with the next group of pots (2.5"). Again place them in between the large pots at different angles or in different directions using more wire to secure them to the frame.
- Finish with the last set of pots in the same fashion.
- Next, use some styrofoam in each pot. You can press it into place or use a little hot glue to secure the foam.
- Finally, push the faux succulents into the foam. You will probably need to cut off some of the plant stems to fit them inside. You can use wire cutters or a strong pair of scissors.
- Hang your masterpiece on a door or wall in your home and enjoy.
