DIY PROJECT<br />

liberty print flower pots<br />

1.<br />

2.<br />

YOU WILL NEED:<br />

• Terra cotta plant pot and tray<br />

• Sponge brush<br />

• Mod Podge,<br />

• Cotton floral fabric<br />

(we used Liberty prints)<br />

• Scissors<br />

• White spray paint (optional)<br />

• Glass jars<br />

FLOWERS:<br />

• Dahlia<br />

• Japanese anemone<br />

• Cow parsley<br />

• White nigella<br />

• Garden rose<br />

• Zinnia<br />

• Aster<br />

• Phlox<br />

If your fabric is thin, you may want to spray<br />

paint your pot otherwise the orange might show<br />

through. Let it dry thoroughly. Cut your fabric to<br />

a size that can easily fit around your pot, leaving<br />

at least 10cm above the rim of the pot and<br />

enough to cover the bottom. Apply Mod Podge<br />

to a small area of the pot and press the fabric<br />

down, applying more to the fabric with your<br />

sponge brush as you go.<br />

Once the surface is covered, with fabric, apply<br />

Mod Podge beneath the remaining fabric at<br />

the top and tuck it inside your pot. Repeat this<br />

process on the bottom of your pot, too. Apply<br />

Mod Podge all over the outer side of the fabric.<br />

Work in small areas, starting at the top rim<br />

and working down and around the pot in one<br />

direction. Apply Mod Podge to both the pot and<br />

the inner side of the fabric. Gently pull the fabric<br />

smooth as you go. Work quickly as the Mod<br />

Podge dries quite quickly.<br />

Let your pot dry on a piece of plastic and then<br />

follow a similar process for the bottom tray. Use<br />

little jars to hold the water for your flowers in the<br />

pots.
