This is the post I’m sharing over at The Wood Connection today! Go stop by and say hi, then make sure you come back and make it to the bottom of the post, there’s a little something down there. 🙂
Hi, it’s Amy from The Happy Scraps! I’m so excited to be here at The Wood Connection today, sharing this fun Flower Pot with Circle Flowers that they’ve come up with! Some of my favorite things about The Wood Connection are: you pick out what you want, and make it your own; it’s a one stop shop with everything you need to finish the project {unfinished wood, paint, paper, sand paper, adhesive, ribbon, glitter, they have it all!}; and I can have cute wood projects and I don’t have to own a saw!
When I saw this Flower Pot with Circle Flowers {it’s only $12.95, and it’s BIG, (aprox: 12 w x 19 h)}, I thought it was made just for me! One thing about me is that I ♥ Polka Dots, so when I saw these circle flowers, that is what I thought of. I also love me some Echo Park Paper, and the new line of Dots & Stripes is just perfect for this project.
I started by painting all of my wood. I painted the bottom layers and middle layers the same colors, and the top, bead board layer white. Then I added a second coat of a different color to the middle layer, sanded the edges, to get the distressed look with the other color peeking through. Next, I traced the circles and cut my paper for the bottom layer, and measured and cut strips of paper for the bead board layer. Then I used the wood glue {sold at The Wood Connection} to adhere my paper to the wood. I also used the same glue to put my flowers together.
For the flower pot, I covered it with this cute polka dot paper, and then I cut a vinyl “Spring has sprung” with my Cricut and stuck it on the corner.
One of my favorite things about the pot is the bead board trim for the top. I had fun distressing it after I painted it white. Then I added some baker’s twine and ribbon to it.
I’m so excited to have this fun flower pot in my house to help bring Spring inside! After winter, I’m ready for some bright and colorful things inside, and out!

Have to admit, I’m a little bit addicted to the Wood Connection. I’ve visited the AF store three times since it’s been open (which is only 2 weeks I believe). There are a ton of things I would like to purchase, but definitely need the BLOOM and some of their cute flowers.

Love the distressing on the flower pot. If I win the gift certificate I would buy some frames and/or the kite if they offer it again this year. Happy Easter!
