While shopping at The Dollar Tree, I stumbled upon these 10″ plastic flower pots in a variety of colors for only $1 each! When I saw them, I knew they would be the perfect Cricut blank to customize for Mother's Day and Teacher Appreciation Week! I have personalized flower pots in the past with my Cricut Maker. You could also make this project with a Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Joy!
This was a teacher gift we made for my daughter's teacher! The words were put on with Oracle 651 vinyl and then we painted her handprints on to the pot!
What makes DIY flower pots so special is the personal touch each one of them has. Your Cricut machine gives you the freedom to personalize with a name or customize with your favorite quote or message. Follow the simple steps below to learn how to make this adorable DIY project!
