DIY gold planter pot

One of my favorite parts of summer is a backyard garden full of fresh fruits, veggies and herbs. We are still in planting mode around here even though the raised beds are at capacity- which means that we’re in need of some planter pots. And the pretty plants and herbs require pretty homes, right?
When I saw these Mod Podge Melts, my first thought was Mod Melts + gold spray paint = one pretty pot.
I made a whole pile of the nests (I thought they were flowers, but my kids quickly corrected me). The Mod Melts work just like hot glue- you put them in a high heat glue gun and then squirt them into the mold. After letting them cool (and repeating and repeating and repeating in my case), you have the perfect project accessories.
I used dabs of Mod Podge Melt to adhere the nests to a plain white planter that I got at IKEA.
Then, after the entire planter was covered in a pattern of nests, I turned it upside down on some cardboard and sprayed it with shiny gold spray paint (and then touched up from all sorts of different angles for full coverage).
I love the textured effect that the nests add to the planters (and can think of all sorts of other projects to embellish with the Mod Melts)!

This is beyond cute! I think I almost had a heart attack when I saw the Mod Podge melts. Oh the possibilities!
Right Elise? I felt the same way! I can’t wait to do a party and put them on everything… 🙂
HOLY MOLY!!!! LOVE THIS! I received the same mold, and I am totally duplicating this! Stunning!
Thanks Christine! 🙂 Loved the drink tags as well (and especially your discovery that other molds will also work with the melts! Can’t wait to try that!)
We love what you made with our Mod Melts! We are featuring on facebook tonight! 🙂
