While shopping at The Dollar Tree, I stumbled upon these 10″ plastic flower pots in a variety of colors for only $1 each! When I saw them, I knew they would be the perfect Cricut blank to customize for Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Week! I have personalized flower pots in the past with my Cricut Maker. You could also make this project with a Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Joy!
This was a teacher gift we made for my daughter’s teacher! The words were put on with Oracle 651 vinyl and then we painted her handprints on to the pot!
