    Hi folks have not joined this yet but for those who are thinking of doing bootfairs/carboots,

    One way that has done alright for me is to go around places like b&q homebase etc, although you will have to do this on a regular basis go to the tile section and look out for damaged boxes that are for sale these can be missing tiles maybe 2/3 these can be reduced from £10 a box to £2:00 a box buy a glue gun to make plant pots and sell them, have a few with plants in them for demo

    you can buy the large 1m+1m tiles for £10 a box with 5 tiles in it to buy out door plant pots this size you will be looking at £30 have a look and see what b&q and homebase are selling these for in the garden section,

    some boxes give you enogh tiles to make 2/3 pots


    Any chance you could upload a photo of a finished one,so we all can see ?

    Thanks.....:beer:

    Thanks for the idea Jamesy....I had trouble imagining how on earth you would make a plant pot ot of broken tiles (being the creative person that I am, ha!) so I looked up instructions. If anyone else interested, instructions are here http://www.ehow.com/how_5105501_make-mosaic-flowerpot.html

    Have seen some people cover all sorts, mirrors, bedside tables, coffee tables - all of which could be sold on!
