DIY Spring Flower Pots

Spring Is in the Air

I love spring flowers, so I wanted to make my own flower pots to showcase them. Using repurposed Hiland Dairy Organic Milk cartons and some extra fabric I had on hand from the Milk Carton Storage Boxes I created earlier this month, I was able to create these flower pots in no time!

DIY Spring Flower Pots

What You’ll Need:

• 2 Hiland Dairy Organic Milk cartons, half gallon-size
• Fabric, various colors and patterns
• Scissors
• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Measuring tape
• Pen (to mark measurements)
• Adhesive spray, optional

Instructions:

• Rinse cartons with warm, soapy water. Allow to dry completely.
• Cut the tops off of each carton, making one carton 6 inches tall and the other carton 4 inches tall.

• Using scissors, cut fabric to fit each side of the two cartons.

• Using a glue gun, adhere each piece of fabric to each side, making sure your fabric pieces fold over the top and slightly inside the carton opening. Allow glue to try completely.
  • Tip: If you don’t want to glue these using a hot glue gun, you can use adhesive spray instead.

• Poke a few small holes in the bottom of each carton to allow for water drainage.

• Plant your favorite spring flowers in each pot and water as needed.

Diva’s Tip

You can speed up the process by gluing one piece of fabric completely around each carton.
