One Flowerpot Painted 2 Ways

So, what do you do if a giant gift box isn’t really your style for Mother’s Day? There’s certainly nothing wrong with a little something special to celebrate Mom, so I’ve been wracking my brain for simple gift ideas that won’t break the bank and won’t take hours to make or days to ship.

Enter: my DIY Flowerpots Painted Two Ways. This easy-to-recreate project is a cinch to craft, and is juuuuuuuuust enough of a treat. Whether you fill the ceramic pots with flowers, succulents, or with herds like I did, this gift is a universal one that practically any type of mama will adore.

Tell me. Are you more of a big time gifter? If so, click back to yesterday’s feature for larger scale ideas. Or do you prefer to give simple and sweet, pint-sized gifts (like today’s project) to your loved ones? I’m a combination of both depending on the occasion. I’d tell you what my sister and I have planned for our mom this year, but then it’d spoil the surprise since you-know-who is a regular reader of this here blog. My lips are sealed, Mom! You’ll just have to wait and see next week…
