Flowery Front Door Recycled Craft
In the Designer's Words: "Don't trash those nursery flower pots! Turn those utilitarian (aka: ugly) black plastic pots that flowers, bushes and vines come in into some flowery front door decor to brighten up your entrance this spring."

Materials List
- Plastic nursery flower pots
- Scissors
- Exterior paints (spray paints for plastic, or self-etching primer followed by patio paints)
- Chicken wire
- Floral wire
Instructions
-
Using your scissors, cut a slit from top to bottom. About halfway down, begin to cut across the pot. You should end up with two pieces.
-
Take the bottom part of the pot and cut small, downward slits around the circumference. Fold down these slits to make a flower.
-
Cut leaf shapes from the remaining top part of the flower pot.
-
With your pieces cut out, give them a water spray to remove any dirt. Let dry.
-
Once painted and dried, use craft glue to adhere the leaves to the backside of the flowers. Let dry.
-
Layout your flowers and cut a section of chicken wire to fit the layout.
-
Secure the flowers to the chicken wire with small pieces of floral wire.
-
Insert a ribbon and hang.
