Friendly gift

Most of you know I'm a hand-made gift kinda girl.  I always try to make stuff I would want to get myself. 

We recently had some good friends buy their first house and we invited ourselves invited us over for dinner.  I wanted to do something as a house-warming gift, so I put a little spin on our teacher gifts and another home project from this past year.

For our teachers I did some fun pots with flowers, with a sign that says "thank you for helping me grow".

I felt like I could make something with more neutral colors for their new home...
and here is how I did it.

Flipped the pot over and painted all the way to the rim. 

Note:  It's easier to get a good edge if the pot is turned upside down.

 

same thing for the saucer.

 

Note: I have mentioned this before, but for easier cleanup,

 I use coffee filters to hold my paint as I'm crafting.

 



 

And here is the finished product...





So, if you're looking for something useful, easy and budget friendly to give to someone...this is a good one.  I've never had anyone not like this gift and it's definitely fun to make.
