Flowerpot Handprints

It's spring and we have a family member (my Aunt) who loves plants, so what's a better gift than a customized flower pot?

To keep costs low, I used a 10" terracotta pot and I coated the outside with a clear coat of polyurethane first. This would seal it and make wiping off any painting mistakes easier. My Aunt is also one of those people who keeps plants in their plastic pots so she can move plants around her "fancy pots" easier. If this was going to be filled with dirt, I probably would have gotten a ceramic pot that was already sealed.

We just used Crayola washable paint for the details and then sprayed another clear coat on when it dried to seal everything. My Aunt loved the gift and the girls had fun making it - win/win for everyone!
