How to Decorate a Plant Pot with Glitter

Plant pots, whether they are plastic, ceramic, or terra cotta, can add a pop of color and personality to your houseplants. However, sometimes plain pots can be a bit dull. To add some sparkle and shine, try decorating your plant pots with glitter! Here's how:

Gather Your Supplies

To decorate your plant pot with glitter, you will need the following supplies:

A clean, dry plant pot

Craft glue

A small paintbrush

Fine glitter in your preferred color(s)

A disposable plate or container to catch excess glitter

Prepare Your Area

Glitter can be messy, so it's a good idea to prepare your workspace before you start decorating your pot. Cover your work surface with newspaper or a drop cloth, and gather any supplies you may need, such as paper towels or a vacuum cleaner, to clean up any stray glitter.

Apply the Glue

Using your small paintbrush, apply a thin layer of craft glue to the surface of your clean, dry plant pot. Be sure to cover the entire surface that you want to decorate with glitter.

Add the Glitter

Pour a small amount of glitter onto your disposable plate or container. With your plant pot still wet with glue, hold the pot over the plate and sprinkle the glitter over the glue. Make sure to coat the entire surface, and gently tap the pot to remove any excess glitter.

Clean Up

Once your pot is coated in glitter, allow it to dry completely. This can take anywhere from a few hours to overnight, depending on the type and amount of glue you used. Once your pot is dry, use a clean paintbrush or your fingers to gently remove any loose glitter. Be sure to clean up any excess glitter from your workspace.

Optional: Seal the Glitter

If you want to ensure that your glitter stays put, you can seal it with a clear coat of spray sealant. Simply spray a thin coat over the entire surface of your glitter-covered plant pot, and allow it to dry completely before using.

Decorating a plant pot with glitter is an easy and inexpensive way to add some sparkle and personality to your houseplants. With a few simple supplies and some creativity, you can create a unique and eye-catching plant display that is sure to impress!
