#1 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – SpringWatch 2019 Multi-Way Holder Pots Tutorial
You have no idea just how excited I am about this project, and then add on top that it’s the start of SpringWatch 2019, and it’s a veritable explosion of excitement right here! It’s almost too much for a Monday morning, but I’m hoping it gives us all an extra boost of energy!
So, if you’re not familiar with what SpringWatch is, it’s a 14 day video series that I do every year. It focuses specifically on Spring Summer and Sale a Bration products and the projects are out on my channel back to back, every day for 14 days straight!
If you’re not already a subscriber to my YouTube Channel, or you’re used to my Monday/Wednesday/Friday line up, make sure you click the Bell icon right next to the subscribe button on any of my videos. Then you won’t miss any!
But back to today’s project, this is just so much fun.
All 3 of the pots have sloping sides that when set in one direction will create a perfect slope, but they’re also all removable, so you can have any configuration you want!
My boys loved it so much and kept playing with the set up that I had to stop them so that I could film it!
OK, so the instructions are down below. I’m setting them into the 4 parts of Large Box, Medium Box, Small Box and Outer Tray so that you know which is which. However, please please practice first, don’t go willy nilly into a sheet of cardstock and your best DSP. I can only ‘vouch’ for the thickness of the Stampin’ Up! cardstock and paper that I’ve used here. When I made the Small But Awesome Pots last year, a few people got in touch and said that the projects hadn’t worked with the cardstock that they’d used and it turned out that the card was thicker/thinner than our weight. So please, do test first!
So, enjoy the video, and please do share your versions of the Holder Pots too.

Med. box imperial measurement for DSP sloped sides is 1.75 x 3.5 mark at 5.5. Is this a misprint?
