Crayola Crayola Wrappers used in Making a Flowerpot

The object of this is to give an idea of

• how to reuse old materials that can be broken


• how to decorate up a flower pot


• How to make a craft and realize there is no right or wrong way


• Teach that every flower pot made will be different and there are no rules


• Realize in this - it does not have to be perfect - there IS no perfect so whatever you do is right!


• Have fun doing this!

Wow Crayola Crayons have really changed the way they are packaged and look. When i was a kid, I had a box of 128 in them with 4 small packs inside.. and it had a crayon sharpener in the back (but it rarely worked or was too messy)

For now, separate the Crayon wrapper from the Crayon. Here, I had to use a knife.. do whatever you need to - tear, cut, whatever. There is no right or wrong way. Each is unique and different.



The next step will consist of gathering the Mod Podge and the Flower Pot

• Wash the flower pot inside and out real well with a dish washing liquid


• Seal the inside with a spray sealer, let dry


• Now, take the Mod Podge and sticky the crayon wrapper and then place randomly or in a pattern on the flower pot.

Another way to do it would be to tear the wrappers into many pieces and make them smaller, or use tissue, wrapping paper, photos, newspaper the same way.

• Cover the finish with a light coat of Mod Podge and let Dry

• Paint the rim and or the inside of the pot with a colour to Match a crayon

• Finally, spray the flower pot with a spray sealer inside again and out lightly..

Now add soil and seeds or a plant!
