DIY gold planter pot

DIY gold planter pot- use Mod Podge Melts and spray paint to transform a basic pot into a shiny decor statementOne of my favorite parts of summer is a backyard garden full of fresh fruits, veggies and herbs. We are still in planting mode around here even though the raised beds are at capacity- which means that we’re in need of some planter pots. And the pretty plants and herbs require pretty homes, right?

how to make an embellished gold planterWhen I saw these Mod Podge Melts, my first thought was Mod Melts + gold spray paint = one pretty pot.

how to transform a basic planter with mod podge melts and spray paintI made a whole pile of the nests (I thought they were flowers, but my kids quickly corrected me). The Mod Melts work just like hot glue- you put them in a high heat glue gun and then squirt them into the mold. After letting them cool (and repeating and repeating and repeating in my case), you have the perfect project accessories.

I used dabs of Mod Podge Melt to adhere the nests to a plain white planter that I got at IKEA.

Find out more about Mod Melts via facebook, twitter, pinterest and at the Plaid blog.

I received product and payment via The Blueprint Social (www.theblueprintsocial.com) for this post, however, opinions are 100% my own.

      Thanks Christine! ๐Ÿ™‚ Loved the drink tags as well (and especially your discovery that other molds will also work with the melts! Can’t wait to try that!)
