3 DIY Spring Planters

Sculpey sent me a few of their new colors to try out (I am still not over that lavender!!!) so I decided to make some spring planters/vases with these *perfect* colors! I made these in under 2 hours – they were so simple and fun to make! Plus I need to make a million more checkered things since that one turned out so so cute!!

I am dyinggg to know which one is you fave – the purse vase, the checkered vase OR the flower planter!? I think my favorite is the lavender checkered vase, though the purse vase is displayed in my living room so I don’t know!!

If you love Sculpey projects like I do (probably my most used DIY product) then you’re in luck because I have a TON of Sculpey DIYs for you to try HERE!!

Making these really got me in the Spring mood (which I needed since there’s still snow on the ground here) So, let’s just get started!!

SUPPLIES:

Sculpey Premo in Colors:
Lavender, Terracotta, Light Pink, White & Mustard Yellow

Exacto Knife

Cutting Mat

Rolling Pin

Ruler

Cup

DIRECTIONS:

For Lavender Checkered Vase:

*I used Sculpey Premo in color White and Lavender for this one.

1. Roll our Lavender & White Sculpey, then cut into squares. I used the width of the ruler as the width of the squares which made it easier.
2. Arrange the lavender and white squares into a checkered pattern.
3. Use a rolling pin to roll out the checkered pattern so that they meld together into one sheet.
4. Then use your ruler and exacto knife to cut it into an even rectangle.
5. Roll out more Lavender Sculpey and use a cup to cut out a circle.
6. Roll your checkered clay into a cylinder and add the purple circle to the bottom to form a vase. Use your exacto knife and score the vase to attach.
7. Place your vase on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions.
8. I sealed the bottom of my vase using modge podge so prevent leaking. Then add flowers and enjoy!!

For Purse Vase:

*I used Sculpey Premo in color Terra Cotta for this one.

1. Cut out 2 large square pieces and two long rectangles with your exacto knife and ruler.
2. Assemble the pieces together, smoothing the joints with your finger to bind the pieces together.
3. Cut a long rectangle for the bottom of the purse, and bind it to the other clay by smoothing with your finger and scoring with your exacto knife.
4. Pinch the tops of the purse to give it more of a bag look, and less boxy.
5. Roll out clay for the straps, cup two the same length and secure to either side of the purse.
6. Bake according to package directions then fill it with dried flowers like I did or anything you’d like!

For Flower Planter:

*I used Sculpey Premo in color White, Light Pink and Mustard Yellow for this one.

1. Roll out clay and cut into a long rectangle using an exacto knife and ruler.
2. Attach the ends of the rectangle together to form a cylinder, and use your exacto knife to score the edges together.
3. Use a cup or circle cookie cutter to cut out a circle, and attach it to the bottom of your cylinder.
4. Roll out tiny balls in the Light Pink color, and form 5 balls into a flower, add a mustard yellow ball to the center.
5. Repeat this process and press the flowers into the side of the planter.
6. Bake according to package directions, and add a plant to your cutie planter!

Making these spring planters SO quick and easy, and turned out adorably. Plus it gives you an excuse to buy yourself some flowers 😉 If you make any of these 3 DIY Spring Planters pretty please tag or DM me on Instagram @mikylacreates
