Blooming Valentines
by Rondi Hillstrom Davis and Janell Sewall Oakes
Description: Whimsical blooming valentines to make for Valentine's Day.
Make a whimsically painted planter full of miniature roses, African
violets, or your favorite herbs. All you need is a terra-cotta pot,
potting soil, acrylic paint, and some paint brushes or small sponges.
Directions:
1. Wipe the outside of your pot clean. Cut small sponges into heart
shapes to use as stamps. Paint a Valentine design on the outside of
your pot and allow it to dry.
2. Fill the pot with a shallow layer of gravel for drainage and then
some potting soil.
3. Add a small miniature plant. Pat it into place and water it
lightly. Present it to your loved one for Valentine’s Day and don’t
forget the hugs and kisses.
