I was given this book for Christmas and some of the ideas are just too wonderful for words!
It was this idea for a fabric covered teapot/plant pot that got me thinking …. wondering if I could substitute the fabric for Decopatch paper.
….. And how fortuitous that I have a huge box of brown teapots in the shed already! I used to buy them up at 50p a go at car boots years ago because I wanted to paint them to look like Christmas puddings (but that, as of yet has not happened).
Anyway they Decopatched a treat and didn’t take that long but the 5/6 layers of clear varnish took a few days to complete.
I am putting them (and all the others I hope to make) aside until Mother’s day when I plan to plant a pansy etc. in them.

I'm with Sue - fab & perfect for Mothers Day - well done on such a pretty idea and so appropriate! x
These are fab and will look great planted up. Can't help wondering how many maltesers are left in the jar now though!! xx
