This month our seedlings made valentine planters for houseplants! A pretty low-key project that can be done indoors and out of this crazy weather. We also had one of the largest turnouts we’ve had since summer, so thank you all for coming out and playing with us!
This project is a pretty basic craft project, and you can use whatever supplies you have laying around really.
Supplies
- Terra-cotta pots
- Paints
- Paint Brush
- Stickers
- Any Valentine trinkets that you like
Instructions
Set up in an area that is ok to paint in, put down an old sheet or some news paper to keep the floor clean. Set up a paint tray (paper plate or tin foil) that gives you easy access to all the colors you may wish to use.
Paint away on your terra-cotta pot, whatever designs you like. Once the paint has dried you can apply stickers or other decorations.
After you’re completely done decorating your pot, put in a plant. It can be planted in the pot, or just set inside the pot as a cover. Give this beautiful hand-made valentine to your special someone!
Join us next month, March 7th, for the free Seedlings Garden Club for Kids, we’ll be planting up some seeds! Bring the kiddo’s and share the gift of gardening with them, it’s never too early to get kids interested in planting!
