I always make sure to stop by The Home Depot or Lowes on Black Friday for some 99 cent poinsettias. I love the look of poinsettias around my home for Christmas. They are my favorite thing for Christmas! I picked up four on Friday. But they needed a new pot...or....I could cover the pot they were in with something. But what?? Coffee sacks of course...
Ready to cover your plastic pots? Here is all the details. Start with a coffee sack (or a piece of burlap).
Strip off that outer wrap on the pot. Put the pot down in an old bowl. Why you ask?? That way when you water the plant the excess water has somewhere to go.
Then put a rubber band up near the top of the pot.
Cut your burlap or coffee sack to size. Use your pot to measure. It should come up to a little over the top of the pot on all four sides.
Then pick up two of your sides and slip them under the rubber band.
Work your way around and stick the burlap under the rubber band all the way around. Work with the burlap until the gathers are approximately even.
Flip over the corners pressing with your hands. Just so they don't stick up but rather hang down some.
Wrap twine around several times to hide your rubber band. Then tie it off.
Display around your home!
I also made another one with white burlap and chair webbing. Just in case you want a different look.
I love it too!
The coffee sack ones are slightly more rustic. I really want a touch of rustic this Christmas in my decor.
What about you? Did you find anything on Black Friday that was just for you?

Since Poinesttias are my fave thing for holiday decor I am going to link these up with the Nester.

Very cute!
I avoided the malls on Black Friday, but I did find a vintage mug holder in a little boutique. It'll be part of my craft show display!
These are great! Thanx for sharing.
This is a great idea! I don't go shopping on Black Friday. Too crazy for me!
Super cute idea!! I will have to do the same! Lucky you for getting the poinsettias for such a great price. My husband and I were at Lowes last week and I wanted to pick up some then. He told me to wait. I did. Yep, they were all sold out! Got mine at Kroger instead, but not for .99!!
Very pretty! I just did this with my large IKEA pot. I used the burlap that is used for covering your bushes.

These are really cute! Hope you'll stop by The Corson Cottage and share them at our {Home for the Holidays} link party every Friday in December:) Carrie
Just discovered your blog by visiting someone who stopped by my blog and you know how it goes, ha. That's the way the best things are found, right? Haha. THe first post I saw was this one. I LOVE the idea of burlap. I know where to find that, but I love the random colors and graphics on the coffee sack ones. Do you know a good source for them?? Can't wait to explore your blog!!
