1. If your fabric is thin, you may

want to spray paint your pot
otherwise the orange might show
through. Let it dry thoroughly. Cut
your fabric to a size that can easily
fit around your pot, leaving at least
10cm above the rim of the pot and
enough to cover the bottom. Apply
Mod Podge to a small area of the pot
and press the fabric down, applying
more to the fabric with your sponge
brush as you go.
2. Work in small areas, starting at
the top rim and working down and
around the pot in one direction.
Apply Mod Podge to both the pot
and the inner side of the fabric.
Gently pull the fabric smooth as
you go. Work quickly as the Mod
Podge dries quite quickly.

3. Once the surface is covered, with
fabric, apply Mod Podge beneath
the remaining fabric at the top and
tuck it inside your pot. Repeat this
process on the bottom of your pot,
too. Apply Mod Podge all over the
outer side of the fabric.
4. Let your pot dry on a piece of
plastic and then follow a similar
process for the bottom tray. Use
little jars to hold the water for your
flowers in the pots.
