INSIDE: How to make a miniature terra cotta flower pot for stunning spring front door wreath. Easy clay pot, raffia spring craft for home.
Many moons ago, during our first home remodel, I practically lived on eBay, finding all sorts of treasures and heavily discounted items for our home.
One click here, one click there and I stumbled upon some miniature terracotta flower pots at an I-got-to-buy-it-now awesome price! Of course the item I just had to have sat for a long while on a shelf until I could think of a project to use them for. Typical, isn’t it, of the stuff we think we just need to have?!
Finally, with idea in mind, I came up with a pot perfect way to welcome in Spring.

HOW TO MAKE A MINI CLAY POT WREATH
This is a rather simple project but it does take some time, simply because you must have the *patience* to paint these little flower pots. But the outcome is worth the effort!
Step No. 1 –
Grab your painting supplies and paint your flower pots in whatever color(s) you enjoy best.
Step No. 2 –
Once dry, apply a coat of polyurethane to the flower pots. This is an optional choice. I chose to do this to protect the pots from dirt and debris since I was hanging this wreath outside. It also gives the flower pots some shine.
Step No. 3 –
I cut strips of floral wire and inserted each strip through the drainage hole at the bottom of the flower pot. It should look like the flower pot is dangling off the floral wire, like a necklace pendant!
Then wrap and secure the floral wire around one of the rims of the wire wreath. I wrapped flower pots on both the upper and lower rims of the wreath form. Proceed in this manner until the wreath is covered, leaving a small space should you want to attach a bow.
Step No. 4 –
Once all the pots are secured onto the wreath form, wrap raffia (or ribbon) around the wreath form and attached flower pots to fully cover the wreath and any floral wire.
Step No. 5 –
Attach a bow, if desired.
A friendly tip: I used some heavy wire to hang this wreath due to its weight.
Personal reinvention and DIY projects in the spring
As we embrace the creativity of making a stunning spring wreath with mini flower pots, adding a touch of nature’s rebirth to our homes, it’s also the perfect moment to consider other ways we can refresh our personal style during this season of renewal. Just as we craft decorations to renew our living spaces, spring is a time many of us think about personal grooming and self-care routines that make us feel revitalized. DIY laser hair removal offers a way to embrace the renewing spirit of the season, taking charge of our aesthetic and comfort as the weather becomes more conducive to lighter clothing and outdoor activities. By investing time in both these DIY activities, we’re honoring the season’s call for transformation—beautifying our surroundings and ourselves with our own hands.
