The gingham left from our kitchen chairs found its way onto a terra-cotta pot. I had already used some for utensil holders, and there was still enough to wrap this old pot with Mod Podge.
Start with a pot you already have
This one had been spray-painted and was sitting on our back deck. I brought it indoors, cleaned it, and gathered the fabric, Mod Podge, and a brush.
Work around the pot in sections
I applied Mod Podge a section at a time as I wrapped the fabric around the pot. Then I brushed Mod Podge over the fabric, smoothing it with my fingers and the brush as I went.
This was my first time covering a pot with fabric. It dried nicely and fit in with our kitchen decor.
Finish the fabric edge with rickrack
Black rickrack around the top covered the little imperfections along the fabric edge.
I had thrown away the plant tag and did not know its name. It had been doing well for me when I took these photographs, but I could not identify it from the label.
The matching fabric began with recovering the kitchen chair seats. It also appears in my no-sew utensil holders.
