RECYCLING AN OLD TEA POT DIY





                               

Now who has had a teapot that the spout breaks and then you end up throwing them out!!

Not anymore!!

Here is a cute garden pot or even a great gift to the gardener who has everything......


I had this teapot and wanted to give it some character.....so I pulled out my spray can

of Rust-oleum  in sandstone.






Then proceeded to spray this teapot.











Well once it was dry it needed some tweaking so I dry brushed with brown and white craft paint.







Love how it turned out.

Now there were some supplies that I needed to make this into a cute planter.

potting oil,
raffia
moss
plant

Ok now I am ready..... fill teapot half full of soil









Then insert your plant......








I used one from the garden that will eventually have pretty purple flowers

Add some moss to top it off and a bit of raffia to hold it together.





This would be cute as a garden artifact or why not a cute hostess gift, or a gift to a gardener who
has everything.

So have some fun and make a new planter recycle!!




Thanks for Visiting!
