Flower Pot Pincushion

Flower Pot Pincushion

Step 1: Spray paint the flower pot. After the paint has dried, spray a clear coat sealer over the pot to protect the paint from chipping and to give it a porcelain shine.

Step 2: When the paint and sealer are completely dry, then apply the decals according to directions on the package. Wait until the decals are completely dry and then spray a little more sealer over top the decals. This will protect the decals from damage and coming off.

Step 3: Cut the styrofoam ball to fit snugly in the top of your pot. Then place your styrofoam piece on your fabric and cut around, leaving about an inch all the way 'round. Take your needle and thread and stitch a running stitch all the way around the edge. Place your styrofoam piece inside your fabric, tighten your thread and tie it off snugly.

Step 4: Assembling the pincushion. Decorate the pot with bits of lace and trim so that it is pleasing to you. Next, take your fabric covered styrofoam piece and glue it securely in the pot.

Then, glue the flowerpot to the watering tray to insure the pincushion doesn't easily knock over.
