Painted flower pots are the perfect craft for a book club meeting. They're budget-friendly and great for crafters of all skill levels. A huge thank you to Our Maine Book Club for sharing the craft idea and photos! Be sure to swipe through the photo carousel at the bottom of the post to see all the beautiful designs.

Materials: 

*Mini flower pots

*Acrylic paints in a variety of colors

*Paint brushes

*Paper plates or plastic lids to use as paint palettes 

*Paper cups with water for rinsing brushes

*Paper napkins or old cloths for drying brushes

Directions: 

*Everyone will need a plant pot, paint brush, a small paper cup with water for brush cleaning, and a paper plate or other material that can be used as a paint palette. You may also want some paper napkins on hand for drying brushes. Paints can be shared among attendees. 

*Decorate your plant pot with whatever design you would like. If you need inspiration, swipe through the photos below for some examples of plant pots decorated during a book club meeting. 

If you or your book club try this craft, I'd love to see the results! You can share them with me at amber.hathaway.author@gmail.com. You can also tag me on my socials (linked at the bottom of the homepage), and I'll repost them.
