Trying To Make Paper Pots: Part Two, A Good Start

 


Well this was the best of the first batch made. I think they came out good for being done with a two year old's help.  I put some baby spider plants in my test pot. I went with the spider plants since I have lots of them and more coming all the time. didn't want to kill something I would have to re-buy.  They started out good, but after about a week or so the pots started to get moldy. I think from the flour, next time I am going to use cornstarch instead of flour. I have done that for some other paper mache projects and its works better then flour.  It just goes to show you why you should look things up before you "do" if you want to get it right the first time.                                                            
I haven't gotten around to doing anymore of these just because I haven't had a need for many little pots.I was planning on using them for when I am giving cutting away because I was losing to many of my pots.
