If you’ve ever been a gardening enthusiast of any level, then we’re sure you’d probably agree with us that the idea of making unique displays for your flowers is just about as much fun as choosing what to plant and enjoying the garden afterwards! That’s why we’re always on the look out for awesome DIY flower pot ideas, because things are always a little more decorative and satisfying when you make them yourself.
1. Floral decoupage terra cotta pots
If you’ve never done the classic crafting technique of decoupage, which is having a resurgence in popularity since it was all the rage in the 19802 and 90s, then we’re sorry to tell you that you’ve been missing out! We’re actually such huge fans of this floral napkin decoupage pot idea from

7. DIY layered seashell planter

8. Wooden pallet planter
Were you quite intrigued indeed by the concept of covering the outside of your flower pots in wood since you’re aiming for a rustic, reclaimed aesthetic, but your pots are actually large enough that the twigs and sticks idea won’t work unless you start cutting off actual full sized branches? In that case, we think you might get along a little better with something like this upcycled pallet wood flower pot craft outlined step by step on

Either way, we think you’ll get a real kick out of the way
13. Gold leaf terra cotta flower pots
