DIY PROJECT liberty print flower pots 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. YOU WILL NEED: •  erra cotta plant pot and tray T • Sponge brush • Mod Podge, •  otton floral fabric C (we used Liberty prints) • Scissors • White spray paint (optional) • Glass jars 3. 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. 4. FLOWERS: •  ahlia D • Japanese anemone • Cow parsley • White nigella • Garden rose • Zinnia • Aster • Phlox 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. 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.
