Mini Clay Pot Magnets
I’ve got to admit, I don’t have much of a green thumb. My mom is an avid gardner with gorgeous flowers & gardens surrounding her house and plants fill every nook and cranny inside. But I don’t seem to have inherited that from her…gardening is one of my most hated chores (if I’m out there digging in the dirt I might see an earthworm…gahhh, I can’t even). What I do love? Plants that require hardly any upkeep. Like my beloved bamboo plant that I’ve had for about 12 years. And my most recent obsession – air plants! Caitlin got me a couple for Christmas and I’m smitten with them. They’re tiny, they can sit just about anywhere, and if I forgot about them for a few days, they’re fine.
On a recent trip to Michaels, I spotted these mini clay pots and had to have them. I thought they’d work great as magnets to go on my fridge and would be the perfect size for air plants (the perfect excuse to add a few more plants to my collection!). This project was so quick and easy and I love seeing my air plants hanging on the fridge.
What you need:
- mini clay pots (I got mine at Michaels, these
look pretty similar) magnets
(I recommend using high quality ones likes these, the pots will break if they fall off your fridge, so make sure your magnets will hold)
industrial strength glue
(you can find them on Amazon
To make them I painted my pots and let them dry (it only took a few minutes to dry). Then I placed a dab of the glue on the magnet and stuck it to the pot. (I wanted my pots to tilt slightly forward to give the plants more room, so I placed my magnet below the rim of the pot.) I let the glue dry and was done. Stuck them on the fridge and set my air plants in!
Yay – it’s Friday! Enjoy this weekend!
