DIY paper pot

when you don't have a pot to put your newly found treasure in, you make one!

 

here's an easy diy paper pot.

 

- turn the paper bag inside out (i gently rolled it outward).

- depending on your plant size, fold the bag inward to the desired height.

- have some fun painting it whatever color(s) you desire.

 

 

 

DIY Geo Inspired Planter

school is out and we are so excited to enjoy the summer! now that my schedule is a little more open (as open as it can get with 4 kiddos), i have a handful of DIY projects i want to do. 

it can get frustrating when i have all these ideas in my head but can't implement them because of a busy schedule. hopefully, i can get through some of them since the craft itch can be soothing and inspiring.

with this little project i had all the supplies at home--i love when that happens! geometric decor has been lovely to see, so i put together a quick geo inspired planter. it added something new to the place, AND in my case, it was totally free! now, let's pray my plant don't die!

what you'll need:

-plain clay planter

-painter's tape

-paint with paint brush

i taped around the vase. just make sure there's no open spaces so the paint don't seep through. i painted, let it dry, then repainted again. i did about 4 coats just to make sure it was thick enough--depending on the paint it could be less coats. once it is completely dry, remove the tape slowly, making sure you press down on the painted part while pulling tape. i accidently tore too quickly and some paint came along with it...i had to repaint that area :/

1. Decide on a vase you want to decorate.

2. Use tape to make straight rows-like painters tape or any that don't leave any sticky residue.

3. Use a permanent marker that works well on glass and make sure the shading is to your liking.

4. Decorate in between rows (due to the shape of my vase, my mustaches decreased in size as I drew towards base).

5. Remove tape and use for freshly cut flowers or a nice succulent--or whatever you like :)

I surprised PJ with a BKR bottle for our anniversary. It was obvious to me that I had to get one for him. 

• He doesn't like stainless steel bottles because of the after taste
• He would try to save various/random glass bottles with their lids so he can reuse them for water, or orange juice, but that wouldn't work too well, since the cap would rust :( 
• I tend to be on him for not drinking enough water, a constant debate in our home. This has encouraged him to drink more (among other things, like he thinks he's dying...)!

This bottle just made sense for him. I was blessed with the Fossil Flight Stainless Steel Watch for our anniversary! I like it a bunch and wear it thinking of the Lord's blessing on our marriage :) 


In previous, I LIKE posts, I've never posted anything I actually purchased, but since it was our anniversary, I included them. I guess, I can approve the quality and beauty of those two :)
