Mother's Day Planter

Remind mom of your favorite memories all year long!

You need a wood planter, smooth and clear of dirt and dust.

You also need laser printed photos on plain printer paper. I chose black and white photos.

I used Liquitex gel medium and painted the side of the planter and the front of the picture.

 

When you lay the picture flat (picture facing down), use a credit card to smooth out any air pockets. Putting too much of the gel on the planter or on the picture can cause bubbling and the ink won’t adhere to the box.

Wait at least 24 hours and then take a slightly wetted paper towel to the planter. Lightly scrub off the paper and your picture will appear!

 

 

 

My planter was for a momma who just delivered her baby girl so I customized the box with the baby’s name and birthdate.

 

 

Ideas for your Mother’s Day Planter:

·         Use photos from the past to remind mom of all the good times you shared

·         Incorporate wedding photos or pictures from another big day

·         Customize the planter with your mom’s favorite quote
