Make Your Own Beautiful Mosaic Garden Planters

By Peter Anderson


Although it still seems like the winter will never end, spring is already in front of the door. It is time for the first plans of gardening. Take advantage of these last cold days in the best possible way so that you can start planting flowers in the early days of spring.

Even if you do not have a garden, your terrace can become your little paradise garden, with little will and effort. Beautiful mosaic garden planters will beautify every terrace and create a special atmosphere in which you will be able to enjoy the entire season, especially when your plants begin to flower.

Considering the fact such planters are really popular lately, you'll find them in any respectable garden center or any specialized store. They come in different shapes, all sizes and colors, and the hardest thing is to choose just a few. On the other hand, why not make some.

Small pieces of ceramic tiles can be purchased at specialized stores, or you can easily use the ceramic tiles remaining after the bathroom or kitchen remodeling. In many centers, you can buy broken ceramic tiles at really affordable prices and simply break them apart. This really is one incredibly small investment to make.

Other similar materials can also be used for making mosaics. Glass, gravel, seashells, or any other material such as stone, bricks or even beads. You may use normal glue used for ceramic tiles, or something similar, and all you need is some time and some good will. And some imagination.

Well, sometimes nothing comes to your mind when you need it. I this case, search the web, find something to inspire yourself. Choose your favorite colors, find a company to work with, for example, your loved ones. Children will most certainly be excited to design your pots with you. And this might be a good way to spend quality time together.

It is best to first formulate a motif and transfer the idea to the paper. It can be a simple geometric motif, a motif inspired by ancient Egypt, or some other ancient culture, or even some artwork, or simply with some flower, such as sunflowers. Whatever you like and what you're looking for is a perfectly good choice.

A simple terracotta flower pot may become a special thing that will always rejoice you in the years to come. Making some decorative object with your own hands creates a special feeling, and gives that item a special value. Discover the artist in yourself and turn your garden or terrace into a special place. It takes only some time and will, and just a little bit of money, and the results are really amazing.

You might say you simply cannot find time for such activity. Needless to say that you should find time for something you'll enjoy doing, but anyway. Find a good specialized store, in this case, and choose your favorites there. Mosaic pots are not only especially decorative but also really trendy. And your flowers will certainly look even better in them.
