Freelance Friday: Mod Podge Mother's Day Pots

So I know I maybe jumping the gun a little early, however I wanted to share this simple Mother's Day project, that would be perfect for kids to create. These pots are very inexpensive to create and all you need is some pretty fabric, and Mod Podge. This would make for a great class project and if you have kids create this project now, there may even be enough time for them to plant a few flower seeds inside the pots. They could be in bloom just in time for Mother's Day in May. To learn step by step how to create this craft project click here.
