Hip2Save This Holiday: Flower Pot Christmas Tree
Hip2Save This Holiday Guest Post Submitted By Reader Amanda…
This Flower Pot Christmas Tree is a super easy craft that you can make by recycling flower pots or planters into a festive decoration for the holidays! My favorite part is that my 3 year old daughter was able to help me!
What you will need:
*3 flower pots that are different sizes (you can use recycled ones or use a coupon from Michaels and score some new ones on the cheap).
*Hot Glue Gun
*Green Paint
*Plastic jewels or any other decorations you want to put on your tree
*A star, or any other tree topper you want
To make your tree:
First, paint the pots green and wait for the paint to dry. Next, attach your decorations using the hot glue gun. Then, go around the edges of the pots with the hot glue gun and stick them on top of each other. Last, add your tree topper.
One great thing about this craft is it’s versatility. This tree would look super cute with polka dots, stripes, etc. Or, you could make it Halloween or Easter themed, or any other holiday!
Love it! 🙂
We did a countdown to christmas tree, Green paper cut to look like a tree and then we put chocolate balls (from Aldi they looked like ornaments) and everday until christmas they eat 1 ball off the tree!
That is super cute! 🙂
So cute! I like the kid-friendly aspect too. Usually looking for projects for my kids to give as gifts.
When I was 10 we did this craft for my birthday party. Everyone loved it. I am 21 now and I still hear from my friends that they or their parents set it out as part of their Christmas decorations every year. I have also made snowmen by painting the pots and using twigs or pipe cleaners as arms.
i just did this w my daughter- befor ur post, and she loved doing it. went back to get more pots so she could make them for her grandparents!
OMG!!! Gracie F. Loooooove your idea!!!!
