Tutu Cute Centerpieces

Tutu Cute is the theme for the baby shower my sister and I are throwing for our baby sister. Â Such fun! Â We decided on the uber-girly theme, knew instantly that we’d go crazy with tulle for the decorations. Â And of course, my daughter is already asking if she can wear one of her tutus I’ve made her for the shower! Â So cute! Â Today, I’d like to share how I turned normal terra cotta pots into Tutu Cute Centerpieces! Â It was my first time using DecoArt Craft Twinkles and Glamour Dust. Loved them! Â These paints were SO fun! Â Â It was so simple, used simple materials, and turned out great!
Supplies:
Terra Cotta Pots
Acrylic Paint
DecoArt Craft Twinkles, 2 oz, Sparkling Pink and Crystal
DecoArt Glamour Dust, 2 oz, Ice Crystal
Paint Brush
Tulle
Hot glue
I gave the terra cotta pots a good coat of bright pink acrylic paint. Â Since I was working with the Sparkling Pink Craft Twinkles, I wanted a similar background so they would really stand out.
After the acrylic paint dries, start coating the flower pots in the Sparkling Pink Craft Twinkles. Â When this is dry, layer on the Crystal Twinkles. Â Repeat these layers several times until you get the coating and shade you’re hoping for.
Give your pots a few coats of Glamour Dust. Â I used Ice Crystal. Â It’s important to remember that you need to let the coats of Glamour Dust cure for 24 hours before adding another.
Finally, make a tutu out of ribbon and tulle to put around the flower pot. Â Add a monogram {I also painted the cardstock and letter “W” with the Sparkling Pink Craft Twinkles}, ribbon wrapped popsicle sticks, and stick them in some styrofoam in the bottom of your pot. Â Add some tulle to embellish and you’re done!
These are going to be so cute on the tables at our Tutu Cute Shower! Â If you like glitzy, shimmery crafts, then you’ll want to use the DecoArt Craft Twinkles and Glamour Dust. Â I’m thinking they’d be AWESOME for Christmas crafts!
