Step 1
Cut a card stock with measurement 8 inch width and 2½ inch height
Step 2
With a bone creaser, creased a line with measurement; 1½ inch and 4½ inch (see picture)

If don't have a bone creaser, just draw lines
Step 3
Fold the line that u already creased just now
Step 4
the fold will become like this and for the line that i'd point white arrow (see picture) that line, u fold it the other way opposite from the first one.
Step 5
it will appeared like this. The long card stock is the body of the flower pot meanwhile the short one is the flower pot's top.

On the body of the flower pot, draw a line that create a shape of a flower pot.
Step 6
the result will become like this (see picture)
Step 7
Now, measure a new card stock. the height between the card n the bottom part of the flower pot must a lil bit smaller than it.
Step 8
using a patern craft sicssor, cut the top of the flower pot.
Step 9
Glue to body of the flower pot together.
Step 10
Insert the card into the flower pot, then draw n cut flowers using different color of card stock.

U can leave the flower pot n the flower like that. or u can color all borders using sponge n stamp pad. I use black color stamp pad ink
Step 11
Once the coloring is done, insert card in and start decorating the flower pot.
Step 12
Here, the deco is done. the flower pot top, u can tie a ribbon into it or you can just glue it together with the body.

in my case here, because i ran out of ribbon, so i glued it and replace the ribbon with a small n cute butterly :)
Step 13
Insert the card in the flower pot again and ur flower pot card is done :)
Step 14
i would love to see your version after this ^_- winksss
