Instructions:
Step 1: Paint the flowerpot in your mom’s favourite colour and let it dry.
Step 2: Draw flowers with big centres on the construction paper. Use colours that match or are in contrast to the colour of your pot.
Step 3: Cut out the flowers. Paste your and your sibling’s photos in the centre of each flower. If you are the only child, choose your photos in different poses.
Step 4: Stick the flowers at random on the pot.
Step 5: Give finishing touches to these flowers by drawing vines, stems and leaves around them using permanent markers of different colours.

This is just one simple way of making a decorative pot for gardening moms. You can unleash your imagination to decorate it differently. For instance, you can use a small plastic bucket (the size of a flower pot) and make a hole in its bottom. Cover the exterior of this bucket by pasting white paper on it. You can use acrylic paints to paint the surface with different designs and write your special message on it.
Go ahead and surprise your outdoorsy mom with a beautiful decorative pot. She will love it.
