Beaded Pot Plant Kit

I saw this craft kit online and stalked my local Kmart until they had it in stock :) It was only $5 and I thought it was super cute!

After sitting on my table for about a month I finally started making it a few weeks ago.  I liked the fact that the pot was plastic and not really terracotta.  The green "fluff" that was supposed to go over the foam base was not a solid piece of fabric, but more like crumbs so I threw that out!


The instructions were very basic - the single strand strings where simple, but the strands where the wire was twisted was not explained well enough.  It took a few unsuccessful attempts and leaving it for a week cause I was so frustrated before I tried again and got it to work.  It wasnt as quick and easy as I thought it would be - I worked on it a few strands at a time over a few weeks.  If I just did single strands it would have been done in one afternoon, but I really wanted to add the twisted beaded strands in.




The finished product- I'm super happy with how this turned out! It took me longer to photograph the end result than it did to make it LOL  With it getting darker earlier and busy weekends, I haven't had the best lighting lately.
