IDEA 1: FALL FOLIAGE PLANTER
Create lovely pottery with foliage accents. This unique fall planter is ideal for displaying on your front porch to welcome guests throughout the season.
First, wipe away any dirt on your fall planter to create a clean surface for decorating. In an open area and with adult supervision, spray your terra cotta planter with primer for easy painting and better color. Allow it to dry completely.
Next, adhere the foam leaves in an exciting design on your terra cotta pottery. Place them on the front and center area for a magnificent focal point. Be sure to remove the backing if you are using stickers and carefully add hot glue on the back of each piece.
Paint the stickers white, including the edges so they blend in with your fall pottery to create an embossed look.
Once the paint has dried, it is time to personalize your Autumn planters. Paint your terra cotta flowerpots orange or use your favorite fall hues. Paint around the leaf shapes and along the edges of your foam stickers.
Then, paint the top of the stickers a different color to make them pop. Try bright green or pink for an interesting contrast.
Add your favorite seasonal blooms once your DIY fall planter has had time to dry. Start by filling it with Calloway’s Premium Container Potting Soil, leaving room for your plant. Our Premium Potting Soil is a top-of-the-line gardening soil specially formulated for potted plants.
Complete your creation with Purple Celosia for its dark foliage and unique plumes of autumn-inspired color.
IDEA 2: DIY FALL PLANTER WITH FOAM LETTERS
Do you love fall most of all? Adorn your clay pots with your favorite expressions for this time of year using foam letters. This flowerpot idea for fall is great for displaying on your tabletops for a gorgeous autumn centerpiece.
First, paint your planter with primer for easy decorating, and gather your foam letters.
Remove the sticker backing and carefully hot glue one letter at a time to your terra cotta pot. Once you are done, spray and cover each letter completely with a primer.
Now it is time to start painting. Paint your terra cotta planter, including the edges of your letters so they match the base. Choose another paint color slightly lighter than the base to paint the top portion of your letters. This will make them stand out in a subtle and delicate manner for an elegant final look.
Finish your signature fall pot with Floral Mums for lasting indoor blooms. You’ll love the soft array of colorful petals and low-maintenance care.
IDEA 3: PUMPKIN PATTERN PLANTER
Make fall pottery with pumpkin and gourd shapes. Use foam stickers and create a delightful pattern around your planter.
Pick a terra cotta pot with clean lines for an authentic look and paint it with a primer.
Hot glue the various pumpkin shapes in a straight line around your terra cotta pot for a playful pattern and paint them with primer.
Next, add color! Paint your autumn pottery all in one shade for the ultimate embossed look. Be sure to paint the edges of your foam stickers to ensure everything blends.
This fall planter idea with pumpkins wouldn’t be complete without stunning seasonal color. Try Petra Croton for its distinctive foliage and charming hues.
