Painted Terra Cotta Pots & My Sweet Girl Planting Geraniums

Whoa...flower pots can get expensive!

I sure do love all the pretty colors and designs of flower pots in the shops but the price tags makes me think

"Hey, I can do that for a fraction of the price"

So here are my 2 terra cotta pots.

They are actually African violet pots...

at least that's what the tag said,

I have no idea why they have

the little slits in the sides though.

But not to worry,

that will be covered up.

Voila!

Here's what I did.

Don't blink because you may

miss out on how easy this is.

PAINT. GLUE BURLAP. PLANT FLOWER

And the best part is getting the kids involved.

Colby loved giving the plants a new home.

She will check on them every

day and watch them grow

over the summer!

Whenever doing a bit of gardening

this summer, get your kiddos

involved -- they'll love it!

Don't forget to link up your awesome summer fun ideas.
