Let the pots dry for a couple of hours. Then choose what you would like to go on them. If you going to use scrapbook paper or something you can decoupage on them like a napkin. You'll have to make glue/water mixture and use the sponge brush to brush your glue on the back of the design. If your using a rub on transfer like I used on mine you won't need to use glue or water. Second, Glue or rub on your design. Use a sponge brush to brush modge podge on and let dry for a couple more hours. Use hot glue to glue ribbon around the top and tie in place. Tie a bow and add a button and Voile you are done! 007-36
