Materials Needed:
Seed Packets Decorative-edge Scissors, if desired Terra-cotta pot Mod Podge decoupage medium Sunflower seeds INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Cut out the seed packet fronts, emptying the seeds into separate labeled plastic bags, if necessary. Trim the edges of the seed packets with decorative-edged scissors, if desired. Arrange seed packets on the pot, overlapping and cutting tops and bottoms as needed. 2. Paint back of seed packets with the Mod Podge decoupage medium and press to the surface of the pot. When all of the packets are attached to the pot, coat the entire outside of the pot with decoupage medium and let dry. 3. Attach some sunflower seeds, arranged like flower petals, onto the pot as desired using decoupage medium as the glue. When dry, give the entire outside of the pot one more coat of decoupage medium. Allow to dry. Two More Ideas... 1. Try this same technique using postcards, old stamps, pieces of greeting cards, or images from your favorite magazines. 2. This decoupage flower pot does double duty as a holder for garden markers, seed packets or small hand tools. |
