A colorful, fanciful craft project designed to bring out the creativity in you!

 
     
 

Materials:

  • Large Grapevine Wreath

  • 42-50 Flowerpots - 3 sizes

  • Paints:
       Red
       Orange
       Marigold
       Yellow
       Purple
       Magenta

  • Cloth stem wire, white

  • Gerbera daisy stem

  • Floral foam

  • Moss

  • Gloss spray varnish

Tools:

  • Glue Gun

  • Glue Sticks

  • Wire Cutters

  • 1" flat paint brush

Directions:

1.  Paint each pot inside and out, applying as many coats as necessary for good coverage. Spray with gloss varnish. Allow to dry.

2.  Paint wires in matching colors (It is essential to wire the larger, heavier pots; lighter pots may simply be hot-glued. If wreath will be hung in direct sunlight, wire every pot).

3.  Thread wire through pots, and twist to tighten. Insert wire through branches of wreath, securing in back. Arrange the pots at a variety of angles, balancing color and distribution.

4.  Glue foam to inside of one pot at bottom right. Cover with moss and insert Daisy stem and leaves (taken from the stem).

5.  Glue small clusters of moss wherever you wish to camouflage wire or to fill in a gap. Secure wire hanger to back of wreath.

Approximate Crafting Time: 6 hours
