Flowerpot Craft Ideas For Kids

On Glued To My Crafts, we have quite a collection of craft tutorials using terra cotta pots. I admit… I’m kinda addicted to picking them up since they are so cheap but oh so versatile. I love the fact that you can turn them into decor pieces or even gift holders. The options are limitless on these inexpensive pottery pieces!

And just like we have the “knack” of turning three popsicles sticks into pretty much ANYTHING on Glued To My Crafts, we also have the gift to do the same with terra cotta pots. From various seasons to holidays, we have at least one craft for YOU to do every month of the year!

But since there is just not enough time in the day {for me or anyone else} I’ve decided to make {and share} this particular roundup post with you all today. My hopes is to condense the fun but let that creativity still soar!

This Terra Cotta Pot Crafts Collection post will hold ALL the past and future DIYS we come up with, using the tan clay pieces you find at craft stores, home improvement stores and even local Dollar Trees {hello cheap!} So be sure to bookmark this very page because it will be growing as time as goes by!

So now to the crafts!!! Keep scrolling on this post, for either inspiring images or click on the highlighted links before each pic to be taken to full tutorials on Glued To My Crafts. We hope we inspire at least one DIY out of you today!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us as well! You can tag us on Facebook or Instagram for EASY sharing! #gluedtomycrafts
