Pretty Potted Plants

Omg guys this week has seriously been so freakin long... and it's only Wednesday!  We have had some of our pricing managers in town so as a sales rep you are busy busy running around to accounts and dinners!  Today was the first night I got home before 7:00!  Now don't get me wrong that isn't all that bad, but when you have a DIY you want to do all you can think about is getting home when the sun is up to craft your little hear out.

Now I first found this little DIY on Pinterest... here is the pin.  I searched for a tutorial but never found one.  After I came up with mine I did find the original owner of the Pin, and she made these for a bridal shower.  You can see the full shower here, and the creative behind the original idea was Courtney Ortiz!  Love these I just had to make my own for my spare "girly room"!

What you need:

Spray Paint (I used gold)
Terra Cotta Pots and Saucer ( I got mine at Michael's but they are cheaper at Home Depot)
Plants (I used succulents and a Cactus)
Potting Soil
Aquarium rocks, (for teal I had to pick it out of the multi colored bag) my rocks are actually from PetSmart but these are much less expensive!

Step 1
First thing you want to do is spray paint your pots to your desired color.  Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area, and cover your work area so that the paint does not go on any unwanted area.  Now let dry.

Step 2
Inspect your pots to ensure they are covered to your liking.  Once that is done fill your pot with some dirt and plant your plant.  Make sure to leave a little room at the top to add the rocks.  I left between a 1/2 and 1/4 inch.

Step 3
Add the aquarium rocks to the top, a thin layer to cover should be fine.


Step 4
Enjoy!  I love how simple this DIY was and it is perfect to spruce up any office, room, or even give out as a cute party favor!!
