Terracotta pot for Valentine's Day

Searching for the perfect gift wrapping can be just as challenging as choosing the actual present. With this creative guide on decorating terracotta pots, you can present your treats - whether cookies, chocolates, or other delicacies - not only securely but also stylishly wrapped. Thanks to the sturdy structure of the pots, the contents are optimally protected. Let's bring this unique gift idea to life together!

Step 1: Paint the Terracotta Pots and Hearts

First, paint the terracotta pots and the small hearts with your favorite color. You can either use pure color shades or mix different tones to create a unique look. An initial coat may not be fully opaque at first, but it forms the basis for an even color result.

Once the paint is completely dry, you can unleash your creativity and add further patterns. A stitching pattern works well for this project, but small hearts, flowers, or other Valentine's Day motifs are also a lovely choice. For a sparkling finish, you can decorate the terracotta pots with glitter. Simply apply some craft glue, spread it out, and sprinkle glitter on the affected areas.

 

Step 2: Attach the Hearts

Attach a heart below the rim of the terracotta pot with a small dab of hot glue. Then, wrap a sisal cord from the back around the pot and secure it with hot glue as well. On the opposite side, attach the second heart in the same manner, but the cord wraps around the pot in the opposite direction.

If you wish, you can add a bow above the cord. Cut a piece of sisal cord to the appropriate length, tie the bow, and secure it with some hot glue if necessary to maintain its shape.

Final Touch

Now your decorated terracotta pots are ready to be filled. Whether you choose to fill them with treats or plants, you have various options: Fill the heart bags with delicacies or use them to safely place a plant in the pot. If you opt for flowers, seal the drainage hole of the pot with hot glue and apply a waterproof glaze to prevent leakage.
