How to Use Flower Pots for Table Decoration

Paint

• 1

  Tape a stencil onto the flower pot with masking tape.

• 2

  Pour paint onto a plate or tray. Fill in the stencil by brushing with the paint.

• 3

  Let the paint dry.

• 4

  Remove the stencil. Paint or spray a lacquer over the paint and pot to protect the image.

• 5

  Let the lacquer dry.

Flowers

• 6

  Cut a piece of flower foam with a knife to fit inside the pot.

• 7

  Wrap the foam in fabric. Secure it in place with glue or straight pins.

• 8

  Poke fake flowers through the foam. Arrange as desired. Use wire cutters to adjust the height of the flowers by cutting the stems.

Arrange on Tables

• 9

  Wipe the table down with a rag and furniture polish to remove dust and dirt.

• 10

  Set a mat, doily or other decorate piece of cloth where you want the flower pot to sit. The cloth protects the table from scratches from the flower pot.

• 11

  Set the flower pot on top of the cloth. The weight of the flowerpot should keep the cloth from moving.
