DIY Plastic Pots Makeover

With a few supplies and your imagination, you can transform dull plastic flower pots into beautiful crafts.

1. White Spray Paint And Twine Flower Pots (Rustic Farmhouse Style)

I had a few small plastic pots that looked like the ones below.

The first thing I did was paint them.

For the first two plant pots, I used white spray paint.

I apply a layer of Matte Finish Linen White Chalk Spray Paint.

A few tips before painting your plastic plant pots

• Make sure the pots are clean.
• With some paints, the fumes are strong, so be sure you paint the pots outside.
• Beware of wind and dust.
• Shake the bottle well and spray from a distance.
• Avoid over-spraying to prevent paint buildup and drips.
• A few thin layers are better than one thick layer.

The issue I encountered with chalk paint on plastic was that it began to flake in some areas.

However, I decided to leave it as is because I very much liked the way it looked, like a vintage flowerpot.

If you don’t like the aged look, use a non-crack spray paint suitable for plastic.

To make something similar, tie twine around the plant pot and attach a few flowers of your choice.

Last, plant your preferred flowers and place them on a tray or saucers.

2. White Spray Paint And Ribbon Flower Pots

To recreate this look, spray the plant pots with non-crack spray paint suitable for plastic.

For decoration, use wooden heart-shaped buttons and thread them onto a string.

Lastly, tie the red satin ribbon around or glue it in place.

Plant the flowers of your choice and place the flower pots in saucers or a tray.

3. Green Spray Paint With A Touch Of Golden

Cover the top of the pot with paper or a similar.

Now, spray the rest of the pot with green spray paint (suitable for plastic), and once the paint is dry, spray the top with gold paint.

When the paint dries, decorate the plant pots with Rhinestone flowers and gemstones for crafts.

You can use an inexpensive wooden picture frame from the thrift store to make the saucer or tray.

Paint it the desired color and let it dry.

It’s that easy!

Lastly, plant your chosen flowers.

4. Blue Spray Paint And Yellow Ribbon

To recreate this look, spray your plant pots with blue spray paint for a plastic finish.

If you want to give them a vintage appearance, lightly scrape the surface of the plastic pots with a piece of paper.

Do this step before the spray paint dries.

Another way to give plastic a distressed look is to lightly sand the surface once the paint is completely dry.

Tie around a yellow ribbon and stick a daisy flower head or any other craft flower you like on the yellow ribbon.

Make the plant pot saucer or tray the same way as with the green pots.

Finally, plant the flowers of your choice.
