Transform ordinary clay pots into awesome "UNICORN" decor within minutes!
While terra cotta pots are simple, clay containers perfect for plants, with a little paint and creativity they can transform into so much more!
Who said flower pots have to be plain and boring? Not me! I love taking ordinary objects and making them extra special with a fun design. My latest project was turning a basic terra cotta pot into an enchanting unicorn planter.
Just when you thought planters couldn’t get any more magical, I found a way to add glitter, rainbows and even a flowing mane and horn. Now instead of just housing green leaves and stems, this pot is a showstopping home decor piece that sparks imagination.
In this blog post, I’ll share the simple steps I took to transform my terra cotta pot from dull to dazzling and inspire you to put your own whimsical spin on pots too. Get ready to release your inner artist and unicorn lover!
Whether it’s crafting together as a family or giving these adorable unicorns away, this painted planter project is a great way for moms, teachers, educators and creative geniuses alike to get creative and explore their inner artist!
