DIY // neon dipped succulent pots

June 2, 2012

with neon, and “dipped” things being such a trend right now, i decided to make a little neon dipped clay pot for my children’s teacher appreciation gifts for the end of the school year.

this was a great project, because it is very simple to do, and your children can even get in on the action and help paint the pots!  i filled mine with succulents, because i just love succulents, and frankly they are the only plant i can keep alive, ha!

you only need a few supplies to get started!

head on over to hellobee for the full step by step tutorial on how to neon dip clay pots.  these would make great gifts, or add some pizzaz to your party table!
