How to make DIY painted pots

Create your own DIY painted pots in under 20 minutes. These are a fun and quick gardening craft you can make to spruce up ordinary pots.

I know we are still in the middle of winter, but I am already dreaming of Spring! Warm, sunny days and planting flowers are calling my name.

Of course since it’s still way to cold to get the garden started in the backyard, I thought I would spruce up kitchen window seal with a cactus. I LOVE all kinds of succulents and cactus. Not only are the so gorgeous, they are incredibly easy to maintain and keep alive.

I really, really want to have a green thumb. But with the brutal Texas heat, most of my garden is completely dead come late summer. It’s incredibily frustrating.
