Terra Cotta Pot Transformation

Last week when I was working on this project, I decided my mom needed to spruce up her terra cotta pots.  

We are trying to add color to her yard and this was the perfect project to add a splash of color! 

Plus, they were super easy and only took about 15 minutes to make.

We started with plain terra cotta pots....

Then we painted them blue and red. 

Just and FYI, don't leave the dirt in your pots when you paint them.

You WILL get dirt all over your paint. :)  

Just thought I would let you know. 

After your paint is dry, you can hot glue your rope all around your pot.  

We did this three times. 

Next, plant your flowers. 

Our flower of choice:

So easy, and so much better than just a regular terra cotta pot!

Wishing Well Makeover

I am finally getting back on schedule after my vacation! 

However, I really miss the sleeping in part.  I could really do that more often! 

Today, I got to spend the day with my mom and we decided it was time to give her wishing well a makeover.  

This was originally used as a water fountain sort of deal, but stopped working. 

So I decided that it would be cute if we painted it and planted flowers where the water would normally go.

Here is the before:

Here is the paint color that my mom picked out.  Love it!

And here is the AFTER:

I love how it turned out, and I really love how bright it is! So much fun and it adds so much color to their yard!   

Here it is in it's final resting place. 

I am so happy with the way it turned out, and it was fun to spend the afternoon with my mom crafting! :)
