Riddiculous.

So. I know, i havent written in a while, and I will soon. But right now I just wanted to show off one of my latest little crafts. I started with three flower pots of different sizes (with a hole on the bottom of each one!), found a small metal stick in the garden section of Home Depot, and some spray paint. If you don't know me, my family is very patriotic. I LOve Americana decor. True story.

So. First I had my teenage neighbor help me paint the pots the base colors, red white and blue. We let them dry overnight.

For the big red one, I used blue painting tape to make two stripes. If you think it's easy to make straight lines on a cilinder shape, you obviously havent tried. After making the stripes, I painted them white.

The blue one I used a stensil and made white stars.

The little white one got my kid's handprints on them. Then, I hammered the pole into the ground where I wanted it, and put the red one on the bottom, putting the pole through the bottom hole and leaning the top against the pole, making it tipsy. I stacked them on top of eath other in opposite directions. This is what it looked like before cutting the pole:

Then I marked where the top of the white pot hit, took the white one off, and cut the pole with a wire cutter.

When I put flowers in it, I start by taking off the white and blue one and put the flowers in the red one, then put the blue one on and plant flowers in it, before doing the same with the white one.

The whole project took less than a day, including the overnight drying.

Cheers and Tally ho!!
