Mother's Day Gift Idea - Jute Wrapped Flower Pots

I saw this lovely jute wrapped pot from Peppermint Plum and thought that it would make a great Mother's Day gift for my mom. I thought I would use this as my "pinspiration" to take it one step further.

I purchased three pots from Michaels at approximately $1.25 each.  Then I purchased jute twine from Lowes for about $2.50 for 190 feet.  A much better deal than Amazon who wanted around $6 dollars for 200 feet.

 I used hot glue to attach the jute at the start and then I started to wind it around. It was a quick process.  It probably took 10 minutes total to complete all three pots.

I had bought some chalkboard labels from Michaels in the $1 section a few months back. I had used the planter labels as food labels at a baby shower. I decided to take three of them off the stakes and use them to write out my parent's street address number.  I then attached the numbers to the pots.  I was excited that I found another use for these, and for $.75 total you can't beat the price.

I purchased this terra cotta colored tray from Amazon for approximately $5. I found one at the Dollar Tree I liked but it only held two pots, and I needed room for three pots. I knew I could get the tray pretty fast through Prime two day shipping. It came in less than 24 hours after ordering it.  Sidenote: I think my UPS man either loves me for all the business or hates me because of our long driveway (which he insists on walking up every time). 

I spray painted the tray using black spray paint made especially for plastic that I already had out in the garage from Lowes.  After the tray was dry I brought it in the house to check it out with the pots. They fit perfectly.
