My Backyard Fence Is Blooming!

Awhile back I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Thrifty Decor Chick, when I saw a picture of some beautiful fence pots! What's a fence pot you ask??

Well, I will show you the finished project in a bit, but first I want to share the steps I took to make mine. 

First, I went to Home Depot and picked up 5 clay pots for a little over a buck each! I also got some painters tape and two different colors of spray paint. 


I then covered the top rim of the pots...like this...


I then spray painted two pots a light purple and three pots a beautiful aqua. Love. it.

Next step was installing these special little hooks on to the fence. 

 
They are called Hang-A-Pot and you can buy them HERE. They can hold a pot from 4 to 10 inches! And they are super easy to install...just screw it right into the fence. And viola'....


Finally, here comes the real fun part, planting the flowers! And now, to show you the finished project...


Just so you get the full effect, here's my fence before the pots...

 
and here is a picture of the fence all beautified!! 


Aren't the beautiful?! I just love how they add some nice color to a rather drab area. And I love how the purple pots turned out...the bright pink flowers just POP!



I just love a fence in bloom...don't you?
