A little flower pot...


I decided to try a little mod podge treatment on an old  terra cotta pot the other day and it turned out pretty cute!  I took a few pictures along the way.  It is sooo easy to do this transfer, don't be surprised if you see all of my pots outside turn into pots like this!





1st I painted the pot with a Martha Stewart paint in "Tailors Chalk".  I did this very quickly and not to neatly but I thought it didn't really matter, a plant will be in it, right?

Then I found a french graphic I liked on the "Graphics Fairy" blog and used a matte finish Mod Podge to adhere it to the pot


I let it dry overnight and then used a little water to peel off the paper and voila it turned out great!


I really like it even with some sand and a candle in it.





Try this technique it is really easy and looks great!

    1. I used regular copier paper. You just have to make sure your image (if lettering or numbers) is turned backwards whe printing. Thanks for asking I forgot to mention that in the post.
