One Painted Flower Pot: Three Super Summer Hacks

How to transform One Painted Flower Pot into Three Super Summer Hacks including a kid's table, a place for cold drinks and an umbrella stand! Amazing and budget-conscious ideas for summer living and entertaining.

A jumbo-sized flower pot– you can find them at home and garden stores.  White this pot may look sort of plain and boring, it has SO MUCH potential. With a couple coats of chalkboard paint, you can create a cute kid’s table, a cooler for keeping drinks cold, and an even umbrella stand!

Supplies: A large terracotta pot (this one measures 14.96-in H x 18.503-in W x 18.5-in D), a large terracotta saucer (this one measures 15.75-in D), chalkboard paint, a paintbrush and chalk.

Step 1: Flip the pot over and give it two coats of paint (letting it dry for 24 hours between coats).

Step 2: Repeat with the saucer.

Step 3: Draw all over the pot with chalk and wipe it off. This “seasons” the chalkboard surface so you can draw on it.

Step 4: Draw a fun picture. This is also a great activity for kids. Give them some colored chalk and let their imaginations run wild. Note: This could potentially keep children busy for hours. And during the long days of summer, that can be a very good thing.
