Spring is springing very soon.

I don't know about you, but I'm so ready for spring. I'm also ready to fix up the lame, plain clay pots I have housing my plants on the porch of Mod Podge Command Central. I like the ones shown above by Christine of lavender and limes. So simple, so cute and for the small pots you can use one larger scrap of fabric from your stash. For the big pots, you could still use fabric from your stash - just piece it together in patchwork-like fashion. Before you start, head here to Christine's blog to get her step-by-step. Don't forget to use Outdoor Mod Podge - then you can keep these outside without fear.

Hi Amy! I LOVE these fabric covered flower pots! My co-blogger, Lia, is OBSESSED with painting flower pots - its such an easy way (though not using modge podge) to really brighten up those pots - whether for outside or around the house. You can see hers here: http://yaydiy.com/2010/01/more-like-anthro-pot-ogie-am-i-right/

So pretty and perfect for planting. I must make some of these. Outdoor Mod Podge! I didn't know that existed...I was happy to buy/find the shimmer Mod Podge yesterday.

Yay! I just happen to have some Out Door Mod Podge! What a perfect project for using it! And for testing how well it handles moisture!
