Mosaic art is popular, so why not implement it to make an exquisite mosaic pot? You’ll need a terracotta pot and vase filler chips (easily available everywhere). Alternatively, use pot shards or broken tile pieces. You’ll also need glue and spray paint.
- First, paint the pot in your favorite color and leave it to dry.
- In the second step, lie the pot and glue chips or shards one by one.
- After this, paste the chips on the other sides as well.

2. DIY Laced Pot
The laced pot looks stunning. Keep it indoors, on a terrace or balcony, or spruce up your patio.
This Diy idea is very easy to do: Choose a lace color and pattern according to the background color you’re keeping it, take a pot and varnish it with transparent adhesive and paste the lace neatly over it. Leave your laced pot for a while until it dries out completely.
If you want to place it indoors, use colors like white, cream, or other light colors. But If you’re about to keep it outside, care about the dust. Choose a lace color that will not get dirty easily.

- Collect small wood chips and barks, cover a bit of glue on each piece, and paste them one by one into a new pot. Your unique pot is ready for use.

Read more DIY Twig Ideas. Twigs are really useful wood pieces, and you can also use them to design so many things.
Find twigs of equal sizes and arrange them in order so that you can tie them in a single file. Use jute twine to tie them up, as it looks natural.
Now take a pot or small container and wrap it with flax string fabric. In the last step, take tied twigs and glue them on the wrapped pot.
5. Recycled Cans

6. Moss Covered Pot
Make this antique moss pot, and you’ll be amazed at how terrific it looks. You’ll need a handful of moss, a clay pot, a brush, and one cup of buttermilk.
Put the moss in a blender, mix one cup of buttermilk and water and blend it until you see a milkshake-like texture.
Paint this mixture on your pot and leave it. Do not let the pot dry out; spray a few drops of water finely, as the moss loves moisture, and within two days, you’ll see the moss growing.
You can grow a moisture-loving plant in this pot; this way, you’ll water it every day, and the moss will get enough moisture also.
7. Roped Pot
Did you ever think that a DIY could be that easy too? This roped pot looks awesome, a flower pot you can make by wrapping up a rope.
Take a bottle, glass, jar, or pot (*don’t use clay pot), whatever is available, and paint up the glue all over it. Now take a thick, shiny rope, and wrap it around the pot. Your flower pot is ready.

You’ll need to spend a lot of money to buy a fabric pot. The good news is you can make it at home– buy a terracotta pot and fabric.

10. Painted Pots
Take a bucket filled with water, and spill the drops of acrylic paint (two-three colors). You’ll see the stream of paint will start to float on the water.
Pick a pot and gently insert it on the surface and slowly turn the pot all around so that the paint will stick to the pot. This will make interesting patterns over the pot.
