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!

ReplyDeleteI am visiting my parents' house next week. They are no longer alive and my niece rents the house. I was planning to hunt down an old copper teapot that I remember.
Love it, I have couple of ugly Walmart metal ones I repainted plus an old copper teapot as planters on deck railing
ReplyDeleteThat's an clever idea! Looks great too!
ReplyDeleteI love it ! What a wonderful idea ! Thanks for sharing . Rain and sun on and off here today !Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the picture, I thought you had put a layer of clay on the teapot. Love the finish with the spray paint. So cute. And the addition of the violets (that's what that flower is, I think) and the rope ball just complete the look. Well done, my friend. And I love the old metal planter you've used as a stand.
ReplyDeleteLove your teapot. I have painted a few old ones myself. I can't stand to throw them out. Love violets and it all looks so great together.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,

That was a great idea! I like to see plants planted in unique containers. It makes them more interesting.
