So from reading many, many posts in the forum, I picked up 3 styrofoam buckets from Gander Mountain (only $3 ea. at the store).

Decided to add a little color...and here's what I have! Will probably get 1 more in orange, kinda odd with 2 blue and 1 orange. I like them...can't wait to see when they are potted with flytraps. :)

Wow those look perfect. If it was me I'd try and find a plastic pot to fit them in for a little added durability.

Thanks! I tried to do quick glides with the paint because it actually melts the styrofoam, but I figured it was ok since it gives it a texture aged look.

I'm not going to bother finding an outside pot. They're cheap enough that if they last a year or two, they're worth it. I've been trolling the forums a lot and reading up Matt's guides, seems insulated pots and cups are the way to go. Now I just need to get more flytraps....LOL!
