Hi Crissy, So happy I discovered your channel today. I have so many terra cotta pots that I have always wanted to decorate. I will be trying the decoupage project soon. Just subbed today as well. (Darci)
Hello, Darci! Thanks for watching! I don't know why I didn't try painting these pots sooner. I love the difference it made on my outdoor patio. Let me know how it goes with yours, and have fun!
hi darling. You did an amazing job, love how the pot turned out, amazing tips on plastic wrap and omg I cant believe how the napkin looks on the pot. No way I was going to guess that it was a napkin. Gorgeous. Enjoyed watching. Coming from playlist. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi dear! Thanks so much for watching and especially for your sweet comment! I'm glad you liked the way the pots turned out and hope you'll try it sometime. 😊❤️
Hi , I'm a newbie here and I don't know what are decoupage napkins nor where to get them. I loved ❤ watching your video and the final look and I thought to give it a try . Thanks for sharing this video with us !
Hi! The good news is that any napkin will work. Most napkins have 2-3 layers (plies) that you will peel apart to use only the patterned layer. I hope this helps. Have fun!
Thank you, Andrea! I have used matte Mod Podge in the past to give it a more finished look. I’ve seen others recommend a varnish or clay sealer too. I like the matte formula of Mod Podge because I use it a lot for crafting and it’s not too shiny.
You could try using an acrylic sealer. There are some that have more weather resistance. You can check the label to see. It will just be more difficult to prevent the pot from developing stains if it gets a lot of direct sun and rain.
Hi Christie, I’m new here from the DIY challenge. I love pots and flowers so your project intrigued me. It turned out so nice. I just might give this a try. My project was a flower box but I’m loving this painted pot! New subbie here. This decoupage project turned out absolutely amazing. I was surprised you worked with some pots with the plants in them. The stacked tower was so creative. I will definitely try something like this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Denise! I look forward to checking out your post, too! It's been so fun making new friends through the challenge. Yes, it's a little silly that I worked with one pot that already had a plant. I really should've taken the plant out, but I was taking a little shortcut. Ha!
I know this video is older so I’m not sure if anyone can help me but is it possible to do the actual decoupage part with the outdoor ModPodge? I don’t have any so I’m not sure if I can just buy the outdoor one and use that to affix the napkins and seal them or if I need the regular yellow one to affix it and the outdoor one to seal it! Thank you in advance if anyone can help!
Hi Ana. The outdoor formula is very thick compared to the regular Mod Podge. It will be harder to smooth out the napkin. You might be able to get by with a sampler pack that includes both formulas, depending on how large your pots are. Here’s what I’m talking about: amzn.to/3bF4rNl. I think you’ll spend less buying small bottles at a craft store, though. Hope this helps!
Why can’t you just spray it with an outdoor waterproof spray coat afterwards? Pots look lovely tho! How about a video on transforming plastic pots- especially the rim???
Sure, I don’t see why you can’t try that. Maybe I should do a comparison to see how it turns out. I love the idea of transforming plastic pots! I’ll try to include that in my future outdoor DIY videos. Stay tuned!
@@FirstDayofHome i have been trying to use self drying clay to create a lip so it will look ceramic when i paint it instead of a cheap plastic pot with no rim. But it hasn’t been too successful yet 😂 I need some kind of flexible cord or hose to wrap over the top i think. But i haven’t found the right material yet.
Ahh, I see. That’s an interesting challenge. I’ll have to give this some thought! I usually just upgrade terracotta pots, but I’m going to see what I can do with plastic now…
Hello. I always suggest placing it on a covered patio away from direct sunlight and rain. I have mine outside at the edge of a covered patio, and they still look great. They might get a little rustic looking, but I think that adds to the charm. I try not to let them sit in water too. Hope that helps!
Hi Crissy, I'm new to your channel and new to decoupaging. I would like to know why didn't you just use the Mod Podge Outdoor from the start? Thank you.
Hello Sgt Friday! Great question. I use regular Mod Podge Matte to attach the napkin because it is a thinner formula. Mod Podge Outdoor is quite thick, so I only use it as a sealer. I think the matte formula gives a smoother finish. Hope that helps!
@historylover9890 Oh, I see. I don’t have a course right now, but I have lots of inspiration on my blog: www.firstdayofhome.com. If you search for “pots” you’ll find several articles with pot decorating ideas and tutorials.

I have never thought of using napkins on pots before. That's really neat.

I will try it
Great! I hope you enjoy it.
New here. Glad to participate with you. What a fun way to makeover terra cotta pots. So super cute. tfs
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to meet some fellow DIY-ers through this challenge. Loved your garden tour as well.
Very creative!
Thank you!♥️
You can spray clear seal coat to the planter
Yes, there are sealers also.
Hello from your new friend from the playlist. The pots are fantastic. I can’t believe you used a napkin! Tfs
Hello! Thanks for the kind words. Yes, using napkins is amazing!💕
Love these beautiful pots... enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
New friend here💞💞
Thank you for watching, Xam. I’m so glad to have you here!💗
@@FirstDayofHome I'm glad too to be your friend. 😊😊
Excellent. This helps me very much. What do you think about matte finishing varnish? Thank you!

You could try using an acrylic sealer. There are some that have more weather resistance. You can check the label to see. It will just be more difficult to prevent the pot from developing stains if it gets a lot of direct sun and rain.

Hi Kenya! Thanks for stopping by! I’ll check out your channel today too. Happy to make new friends!
Love it!,
Thanks, Monica! Glad you like it!
So amazing , the decoupaged pots will last will outside?
Thank you! I always recommend keeping them in a covered patio area since they are water resistant but not waterproof.
Awesome video
Thanks, Michelle!❤️
Your pots are so cute. I love the tower of plants. A refreshing take on plants. A new subscriber to your channel.
Thanks so much, Ruby! They are fun to make. So glad to have you join!😊

@@FirstDayofHome thank you so so much! I really appreciate it and am excited to try this method! :)
Of course! I’m happy to help!🙂 Good luck with it!
So the clay pot sealer, you said to apply on the inside of the pot but your brushing the outside of the pot. Do I apply on the outside?
You apply it to the inside to prevent moisture from seeping through the sides of the pot.
Why can’t you just spray it with an outdoor waterproof spray coat afterwards? Pots look lovely tho! How about a video on transforming plastic pots- especially the rim???
Sure, I don’t see why you can’t try that. Maybe I should do a comparison to see how it turns out. I love the idea of transforming plastic pots! I’ll try to include that in my future outdoor DIY videos. Stay tuned!

can this method be used for pots that will go outdoors with plants inside?

What kind of napkin is this ?? Can you send us link on amazon India and awesome work
Hello, here is the link to the napkins. I am not sure if these are sold in India as well. Thank you! amzn.to/3cqPPkz
Why are you decoupaging the pot with a plant inside it?
Definitely not ideal, but I didn’t want to repot. I’d normally start with an empty pot. 👍🏼
Do I wash pot first
Yes, wash it if it’s dirty and let it dry before sealing it.

hi, po can i use clips of this video for a school event trailer ? but it’s just for participation po so i don’t know if it will be posted huhuhu

Hello do you offer online classes
Hello. I have taught a few online classes but mainly for the Cricut machine. Were you interested in a specific topic?
@@FirstDayofHome I want to start my own custom plant pots studio from home.
So was hoping to learn from You.
