Mother's Day Garden Pot Upcycle with IOD Moulds & Transfers

Turn a basic thrifted pot into a high-end decorative gift with this beautiful mixed-media makeover by IOD Artisan Vonnie. Using layered texture, dimensional moulds, crackle, and gilded details, this project transforms a cheap thrifted find into something heartfelt, handmade, and giftable. In this tutorial, Vonnie walks you through the full process, from applying air-dry clay moulds and building texture to layering paint, transfers, crackle, wax, and gilding for that perfectly aged, artisan-finished look. It’s a stunning project packed with techniques you can use on so many future projects. Just watch out, like Vonnie, you might end up needing to make two! One for yourself, and one for Mom. If you're ready to create a handmade gift with elevated vintage charm, hit play.
