Home Address Flower Pots

This craft is simple to complete and takes very little time. It's an easy and fun way to dress up any front porch or patio.

What You Need

Terra Cotta pots which can be purchased at any home and garden store. You'll want to purchase as many as the amount of numbers in your home address. For example: if your address is 1814 S. Main you would need four pots. You can also make flower pots with the street name as well. I would recommend writing the entire street name on just one pot as to avoid crowding.
Acrylic crafting paint in your choice of colors. You can purchase this paint at any of your local crafting stores and a 2 oz. bottle should be more than enough for this project. White paint is recommended, since it shows up best against the terra cotta colored pots.
One small to medium size paint brush.

Let's Begin

To create your address pots you'll first want to outline the numbers of your home on your pots. With a pencil, draw a number onto each pot. If you aren't sure you want to try this freehand you should be able to find stencils at a local crafting store as well.

Using your paint and brush, draw each number onto a separate pot and wait for it to dry (paint should dry in about 30 minutes). Apply another coat after the 1st coat dries.

That's all there is to this fun craft! Set your pots on your porch or patio where they can be seen easily, but remember to keep them out of the way of rainfall to prevent the numbers from fading.

Additional Tips

As spring arrives, plant small flowers in your address pots for an extra special effect.
A cute twist to this craft is using different sizes of pots for the numbers and staggering the sizes.
Be creative! Free hand designs and swirls around the pots for extra decoration.
