This flower pot is a way to brighten your room and grow pretty flowers. You will need a clay flower pot, pretty buttons, super glue, paint brush, and paints. 
Steps:
1. Paint the pot inside and out with two or three coats of paint.
2. Once the pot is dry, use your craft glue to glue the buttons to the rim of the pot. Tip: If the buttons don't stick, ask your mom or dad to glue them on with a hot glue gun.
3. Use either artificial flowers (you'll need Styrofoam to keep them in place) or plant a flower bulb (and add soil) for a bloom you'll see later in the season
