Jute Flower Pots


I love the look of burlap and jute twine.  There's just a Southern feel to it that just warm and welcoming.  Since I love it so much, I tend to buy it whenever I think I'm getting a "good deal" and I have more jute than I know what to do with.  With the weather getting warm, I'm loving all the flowers that are blooming and would LOVE an herb garden on our porch. I thought that this would be a cute way to dress up some terra cotta pots.  This project took me about 15 minutes for a 4" pot.

Things you will need:

Terra Cotta Pot
Jute Twine
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors

Start by dabbing hot glue to the side of your pot at the very bottom and then place your jute/twine to the hot glue.

Start a line of hot glue around the pot and start going in circles.

You have to go pretty fast because you don't want your glue to get cool and make your jute bulky.

Go as far as you'd like to go up your pot.  I decided to stop once I got to the rim.  I like terra cotta so I wanted a little to show on this one.  I may make some more with more/less because I still have a LOT of jute to get rid of!  Post pictures of your pots so I can see what you've done!  I love seeing others work!
