Ingredients
  

  • Masking Tape
  • Wire cut to 6”
  • Paint in dark green and Citron green
  • Paintbrushes
  • Clay pot
  • Floral foam
  • Pebbles
  • Scissors

Instructions
 

Preparing the Masking Tape

  • Cut several pieces of floral wire to 5-6″ long. Lay a piece of masking tape over top of one wire and wrap the masking tape over the top and press it together with the tape on the reverse side (sticky sides pressed together).
  • Trim off the corners making them all rounded.
  • Repeat these steps for more leaves.

Painting the Masking Tape

  • Next, paint both sides of the masking tape in a darker green color.
  • Then add dry brushing to the outer edges of the masking tape and over top of the darker green in a yellow acrylic paint color.
  • Once dry, bend each leaf making “kinks” in the wire to form a wave effect.

Assembling the Mini Planter Pots

  • Insert the wire ends into a small piece of floral foam in side the mini clay pot. Then fill in the areas with mini pebbles.
