A few months ago, Debra from Common Ground posted some beautiful numbered wreaths. I believe she used them for some pretty holiday napkins. I saved the image to my computer and finally found a way to use them.
These are slightly larger peat pots than what I am used to getting. I picked them up at Walmart last weekend. I started by giving each a coat of white acrylic paint.
While the paint was drying, I printed out the numbered wreaths onto tissue paper. I simply ripped around each image and used one coat of Mod Podge to adhere them to the front of the pots, and another coat to seal in the image. I added a couple of blue rhinestones to add some color.
If you want to try the tissue paper method, here's what I've found: 1. You don't need to reverse your image, 2. Ink jet printers work best, 3. Tape your tissue paper to a piece of cardstock for easy feeding into the printer - I usually tape mine a little at the top bottom and on the sides. Super easy, right?!
