Street Number Flower Pot Craft

Simple decorating idea, easy to do, looks great on your front porch or front step. Cute home made personalized garden theme gift, too!

This is such a simple and yet charming way to display your street number or house number. If you have flower pots on your front porch or steps, why not use them to display your house number? Start with inexpensive terra cotta flower pots. Leave the pots as-is for an architectural look, or fill with seasonal flowers (or little snowpeople as appropriate) to dress up the look! Or paint them to match your house trim.... so many options!

Why you really need to display big clear house numbers: In many areas, the fire department requires everyone to display a house number that is easy to read from the street. Use these eye catching BIG numbers along with your traditional house number to help them locate you quickly in case of emergency. You might also want to use glow in the dark paint on the numbers to make them ultra easy to see at night.

If you don't ordinarily have flower pots by your front door, this might just push you over the edge! This is a thoughtful, personalized, easy to make, garden-related gift item, too. Step by step directions for how to make home address flower pots from Ruby Glen.
