A Makeover ~ from the grocery store

Sometimes all you need is a flick of a brush, the right earrings & a bit of gloss ...

to go from ho-hum to WOW!

Then again, sometimes all you need is a square of fabric, a rubber band , twine & a bit of moss to do the same.

Let me show you how to upscale a grocery store plant to floral shop lovely in less than 5 minutes.

How to Makeover a Grocery Store Plant

Here is the before: lavender from Trader Joe's in an awful pot with garish plastic wrap.

That's okay 'cause we can make this pot over in 5 minutes.

This is what you need:

• a square of fabric about 14" x 14" for a 6' pot
• a rubber band
• twine or ribbon
• a bit of moss

This is what you need to do:

• cut the plastic wrap down to the edge of the pot

• place pot in center of fabric

• gather fabric around the pot

• secure fabric with a rubber band

• fold fabric back from plant & tuck under rubber band

• fluff & fix as you like

• nestle in a bit of moss

• wrap twine or ribbon around a few times & tie

I bought 6 of these & made them all over in under 30 minutes.  I love the way they look tucked in all around the house and the scent is lovely too!

For under $5.00 each I have a very pretty pots of lavender for me or for gifts.

The key is the rubber band.  It keeps the fabric from flopping over & exposing the plastic. So don't skip that step.

These are so quick to make, you'll have time to spare for that gloss!
