When it came to planning our Peanuts Thanksgiving Party, we knew we wanted to incorporate Charlie Brown's iconic Yellow and black zigzag shirt as part of our decor; and that’s why we created these DIY Charlie Brown Planters! This project is simple, adorable and will add the perfect pop of Charlie Brown charm to any Peanuts-themed party!
Begin by painting one of the DIY Large Flowerpots with a bright, yellow spray paint. Or as we like to call it, “Charlie Brown Yellow”! Allow the flowerpot to completely dry.
Once the Flowerpot is dry, cut a piece of the black Cotton Rickrack Trim and wrap is around the bottom portion of the flowerpot. Adhere in the back with a dot of Hot Glue. This trim perfectly resembles the black zigzag across Charlie Brown’s shirt!
Insert a coffee filter or similar type of product into the Flowerpot and then fill with a mix of Red, Yellow and Orange Medium Gumballs. The coffee filter will allow your gumballs to remain food-safe in case any tiny fingers try to sneak a snack!
Tape the Peanuts Color Your Own Thanksgiving Finger Puppets to a bamboo skewer. The tape can easily be removed when it comes time for the kids to actually play with the puppets.
Once your puppets are in place, your DIY Charlie Brown Planter is complete! We loved the way these planters looked on our Peanuts Thanksgiving Party table!
