Butterfly Pots


For Mother's Day, we decided to decorate some clay pots. We used a few different colors of paint, glitter, hand and foot prints, and some paint brushes.

We started with the footprints as the butterfly's body and used handprints as the wings. I mixed some glitter into the paint so that we wouldn't get glitter all over the place. I painted her foot and stamped it onto the pot.  We did the same with the hands. For the hands, I used two different colors.

She had SO much fun with this project. I let her paint some paper, and her body once we were done =)

We have been obsessed with planting lately so we can't wait to add some dirt and seeds into the plants and watch them grow in this cute keepsake.

(Idea inspired by pinterest AND a few friends who suggested it)
