Add a little Spring Bling to plain boring terra cotta pots.

With Spring Fever setting in, I decided I needed a new flower to perk up the place.

I chose a pretty little African Violet that reminds me of my grandma.

Grandma loved African Violets.

In no time at all, armed with a few simple products, I transformed a boring terra cotta pot into

something sparkly and fun.  Just what I needed.

 To make my Spring Bling Pot you’ll need:      (*affiliate links)

• Crystal Sheet (Black)
• 4 1/2″ Terra Cotta Pot
• Black Acrylic Paint and Paint Brush
• Black Damask Tissue
• Mod Podge CS11202 Original 16-Ounce Glue, Gloss Finish*
• Beacon Quick Grip All-Purpose Permanent Adhesive, 2-Ounce*
• Vintage Button

1. Start with a 4 1/2″ Terra Cotta Pot painted with black acrylic paint.
2. Cut Black Damask tissue paper the width of the lower portion of the pot.  Cut the strip into smaller sections.  (my sections were 2 3/4″ x 1 1/2″)
3. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to a small section of the pot, add tissue paper and apply another layer of Mod Podge over tissue.
4. Continue adding tissue sections until the bottom of the pot is covered.
5. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the pot to give it a nice shiny finish.
6. Cut a strip from the Black Crystal Sheet to fit around the rim of the pot.
7. Glue crystal sheet onto rim of the pot.
8. Glue vintage button over seam for added sparkle.

• FYI:  I could have used the Weldbond glue shown in the picture above which is a good permanent glue.  But, because of the weight of the crystals I decided to use my Quick Grip glue instead.
