Hi there! Here's a quick little project we whipped up in our studio today. We've been doing a little decorating and these lace covered pots look so pretty in a group. Do you want to make your own set?
This DIY is so simple it doesn't even really need these photos, but just in case… 1. Supplies Needed: Lace, Glue, Scissors, Terra Cotta Pots, Plants. 2. Brush glue all over your pot. 2. Adhere lace and then brush an extra layer of glue over the top to seal. 4. Allow your new pots to dry completely before you use them.
We will share more photos of our studio soon! xo. elsie

Cute ‘outfits’ for these pots!
I did this same DIY a few weeks ago, only I spray painted over the lace and then removed the fabric to reveal a super lovely pattern! Check it out here:

Oh I love lace!! Its such a delicate thing but I love incorporating it into everyday life! These pots are perfect and something I’d never ever thought of!! Combining a delicate textile with pot and earth! AMAZING! 🙂
I made a star blanket (as it is winter over here in NZ) recently with lace. You can see it here if you’d like: http://lemonwoodandhoney.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/diy-star-blanket.html
As always thanks so much for the beautiful inspiration!!

I love the stripes going down, very effective – quirky and cute with a bit of contemporary thrown in :o)

Is it wrong I now want to go out and buy pots and lace….. ??
This would look so good in my shabby chic white bedroom. If I make these, I will be sure to post them on my blog and share.
Thanks for the tip!

Love the idea, but does it hold up with watering? Terra cotta is so porous, would it discolor the lace?
http://aclosetintellectual.blogspot.com/
It’s a sweet idea, and nice additional texture, but can’t say I love this one.

My cousin got married this weekend in Arizona, and the centerpieces were cacti! I snagged three (I;m sure airport security thought I was crazy!), and I was looking for something fun to do with them; this is perfect! Love the simple, classy idea.
I am seriously obsessed with my new windowsill cactus garden this year, so I already have the cacti in pots… time to get some lace!
I just found your blog via pinterest today and I wanted to tell you I LOVE IT! I browsed through all your categories and you have so many wonderful and unique projects, recipes, styles…easily the best blog I’ve ever stumbled upon. Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world! ~Liz
So cute! I am going to try this out, I did some with scrapbook paper some time ago, but the lace is just so cute!

wow these are soooooo cute! I’ve been thinking of covering mine with some chevron fabric. What kind of glue did you use for the terracotta?
Thanks!

Style mergers are the way to go, so the flower pots seem just brilliant. The rough and rustic clay combined with delicate white lace? Priceless! (By which I mean: wonderfully affordable.)
so cute!! you could use lace tape too!
adorable!
I’m making one of these fo’ sho’!
Such a lovely idea with something like a succulent ( well, it’s a lovely idea for any potted beauty, but succulent in particular because the lace adds a bit of femininity!)

http://www.so–hi.blogspot.com
oh you know what would look cool! To somehow tape on the lace and then paint over it with spray paint or something and then see if the pattern is left on the pot! I wonder if that would work…
Love the ideas and do simple as spring us here ine dsy gone the next rite now, I’m tempted to go out and get things started I have old broken pots and dingy looking hangers. This site has given me a new lease on diy, cuz i have as almost everything need.
One question how would i add pressed flowers without taking away the color of flowers or smearing the any idea product to use?
These are so pretty!!! Brilliant.
Beautiful! You can also use lace and make very fashionable lace collar like this http://bit.ly/GVoyzx
I LOVE this idea! I may have to add this to my to-do craft list.
Thanx Elsie… Great birthday gift idea for my mom’s upcoming birthday 😉
You always post the cutest DIY Tutorials! Thank you so much for it!
Such a cute idea!
My friends gave away plants for their wedding last year. A decoration like that would have been perfect.
These are so beautiful!!
Cute! Totally want to do this.
Made this! I painted the pot bright colors under the section that I put the lace on and it turned out really cute!
LOVE THIS ONE!!!
Such a sweet idea! Great for a gift.
Adorable! Brilliant idea -looks like I found my next project! Thank you!
I did something similar with glass jars…flower pots will be pretty to do too!
Making these during nap-time, today! Thank you for the inspiration!

I like your ideas. The way u write them is amazing.
Silly question over here! Which glue would you recommend using? Super, PVA or Pritt Stick? I want to make these with the kids for the garden, but I want them to last!
Such a cute idea! I’ll probably use colored lace and fake plants though. < that sentence pretty much defined who I am as a person
What an adorable idea! And I have a thing for succulents, so I should try this. They’re about the only plants I can’t kill.

These are the most elegant cacti I’ve ever seen. I like to add more green to my space with botanical wall art. Now I have some good ideas to coordinate with!
Cute! I had made some fabric covered pots but the laces are a pretty cool idea too! Thanks for sharing.
I have a terra cotta pot I’ve been trying to make cuter – totally going to do this tomorrow!

The planters look so sweet with the lace — amazing! I just included them in a round-up of terra cotta planter makeovers over at Match Made on Hudson 🙂
Charlie @ Match Made On Hudson
I’m excited about this! Thank you for being so generous with your experience and encouragement.

The lace is a fantastic idea!
Adorable! Decorating the terra cotta pots always interests me, though I’m also a bit worried about how well the stuff will stick on it. These should stick, especially if you use correct kind of glue, right?
This is so very clever and cute! I am definitely inspired 🙂
Now it comes to AIDS, can not say that cause all the panic, or panic caused by the vast majority of people, especially those who fear Ai. Serious fear of Ai, they always think they are suffering from AIDS,http://www.themeets.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=24690 do not believe the test results, changing mood, severe insomnia, indifferent to the people around him, resulting in weight loss, aches and discomfort.

There is absolutely no need to,http://www.seemethere.co.uk/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=16108 Why do you say ah? Can be said that the AIDS panic fear Ai crowd, the reason they have the AIDS panic, because of their lack of understanding of AIDS prevention knowledge, or ill-understood, so the cause of AIDS panic, a little bit wrong will make them feel infected with AIDS, especially those who have had high-risk behavior. Cause of AIDS panic Another reason is that our media,http://www.seemethere.co.uk/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=16107 the Internet, books exaggerated the route of transmission of AIDS. Our media the way of the spread of AIDS is too exaggerated, even to the barber shop barber also may be infected with AIDS, masturbation can sometimes infected with HIV, oral sex can also be infected with HIV, but these are in foreign countries has been confirmed,http://www.themeets.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=24705

wow – that’s pretty 🙂 Love it!
Celine’s “Phantom” Phantom Series represents a new attitude, casual, but without losing the luxury, simple but distinctive. Greater the volume of open-style design of the loose, distinctive belt lacing can be drawn to both sides of the package shall look extra stylish witty, can also buckle at each other, bags presents a semi-open semi-close unique status, just as free to change very unpredictable fashion “Mirage”.

Hello, I’m a french designer and I would like to present you a kit of DIY to create your own pretty doll! It’s very fun and easy to do and it would be with pleasure that i would send it this gift to you, to test it. But I didn’t find your e-mail anywhere! 🙁 If you want, I could send pictures of my items.
Thanks for your futur answer,
Best regards
Alexandrine
Thanks for your sharing.
Great project. I’d just add that if youbrush pot sealer inside before beginning, no water Mark’s or mold will be making their appearance on the outside after you’re done.
