 I wouldn’t say that I am the most craftiest gal on the planet…not even close. But I try. 
And sometimes it’s hard.…..Cause I tend to over think.
And occasionally stress out……Then reach for a cupcake…or two, who’s counting. There small.
Then guilt sets in. sigh

But this months challenge to decorate with clay pots was different. I wanted to create something that looked fun, was usable, and I could nibble on when I got finished. Of course I immediately think of cupcakes. I mean come on, who wouldn’t! In all seriousness, I sure hope I don’t get kicked out of the monthly club for stretching the rules a bit. See, last month it was baskets and I used a table, this month its clay pots, and I use the saucer to create a cup cake stand.

I took a clay saucer, an old wood vase for a base, some white spray paint and some acrylic paint in lime green for some fun. To secure the saucer to the base, use some heavy duty adhesive like E6000. If you are a cupcake junkie and going to be using this regularly, a clear coat of sealer may be beneficial too, although I would clean any crumbs off the surface with a wet rag, after you remove the sparkly confetti.

  1. who did the terra cotta pot w/ fairy garden in it? I am very interested in this one but could not find it. However Restoration Redoux's pot did not come thru: maybe this one was hers???

  6. That is really cute and very doable!! I love the fun lime green — very spring like. About your overthinking?? It's like shopping — you can always find things you love until you are looking for a particular "something" to wear. Then you can't find anything!! Same way as trying to come up with ideas. When you HAVE to, your mind is blank. But this is really a very creative use of the clay saucer.

  9. I think it a great idea, it's looks cute and it functional. I could see two or three more at different heights on a buffet table. I also love the drink stand. That is genius too.

  10. Laura, That is a really, really cute idea! I love it. I don't think you will get kicked out of the "CLUB"—after all it IS clay and terra cotta! That works for me! xo Diana

  12. I think that turned out great! It's very cute. I love how easy that project is too. I once was asked to be part of a blogger group to do crafts working with certain mediums each month and I declined because I knew I wouldn't be good at it. I'm not that crafty. I think you are though!

  17. I adore your cupcake stand! Such a clever use for the old vase and the saucer! Love the green stripe you painted around it too. I'd be thrilled if you shared this at my Creative Ways Link Party too. It's live on Wednesdays at 8pm central. Hope to see you there!
    Blessings,
