Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A delicate, romantic cottagecore craft pairing smooth white painted ceramic with real pressed garden flowers, sealed seamlessly beneath a protective glaze.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Paint an unglazed pot with two solid coats of crisp white acrylic paint and let dry completely.

  • Press small garden blossoms (pansies, violas, verbena, and fern fronds) in a wooden flower press until completely flat and dry.

  • Plan your floral layout around the pot using precision tweezers.

  • Brush a thin, even layer of matte Mod Podge onto the target section of the pot.

  • Place the pressed flower onto the wet Mod Podge, pressing gently from the center outward with a soft brush to remove air bubbles.

  • Brush a second thin coat of Mod Podge directly over the flower petals to seal them flat.

  • Allow to dry for 24 hours, then spray with 2 coats of UV-resistant clear acrylic sealer.
