Who is Frida Kahlo?
Frida Kahlo's artwork and personal life have turned into a cultural phenomenon in the last few decades. The younger generation is looking at her work with a whole new perspective and appreciation.
Frida was a Mexican-born painter who became known for her striking use of color and her unique take mixing both realism and symbolism. Although she is mostly known for her self-portraits paintings, her artwork is incredibly diverse. She created one hundred and forty three paintings, and fifty-five of these are self-portraits.
Mexican indigenous culture impacted her work tremendously, which you can easily spot in her use of bold and bright colors, symbolic settings, and topics. She often wears flowers in her hair and she features animals in many of her portraits.
Frida died in 1954, and she is remembered as a passionate artist who was proud of her Mexican culture and proudly expressed it in her ideas and art.

Frida Kahlo Plant Pot - Directions:
STEP 1 - Draw Frida's features on flower pot
Take out all the supplies you'll need. Prep and prime your pot first. We chose to use a store-bought white pot, but you can paint one too.
Using black and red acrylic paint, start panting Frida's face features onto your flower pot. Don't stress about making it perfect, just have fun!
TIP: You can first outline her features with a pencil or a thin-tip pen and use it as a guide before moving on to the acrylic paint.
Start with her black hair.
Next it is time to paint Frida's eyebrows using black paint.
STEP 2 - Make tissue paper flowers
Grab the tissue paper and neatly stack about 10 layers of it.
Then, attach the circles with a staple right in the middle of them
Repeat this process with different coloured tissue paper. You will need about 4 flowers in total.
STEP 4 - Complete your Frida plant pot
Now you just need to attach the flower to Frida's head using glue, and your Frida Kahlo craft is complete!
You can use this flower pot craft for real flowers or fake flowers or plants. If you are using real flowers or plants be careful when you are watering them not to get the tissue paper wet.
