I didn’t want to fork out for a fancy stone plant pot so transformed a cheap plastic one in minutes and saved £100
AS much as we love the look of stone homeware, we’ve never been able to justify spending a small fortune on a plant pot which we could VERY easily knock over and break.

Earlier this year, the 29-year-old, from Clarkston, Michigan, revealed how she faked this interior trend on a budget.
She said: “It seems silly to spend over $100 on a stone vase when you can spend $10 and get the same look for less.”
After picking up a £6 plastic pot, Amanda used some leftover chalk paint she had lying around the house to achieve the stone effect.
The mum explained: “Regular paint would work too but the matte finish of chalk paint gives a more realistic faux stone look.
