BUILDING A CLAY POT CHRISTMAS TREE
Pinterest Inspired Project # 6
I loved this one. Pinned it here. Tracked it to here. Credit is given to another site. Not sure I like the one I made. It’s a bit different. Let me know what you think.
Materials
4 Clay pots – Small, 2 Medium, Large
Paint – White or Off White for Base Coat, Contrasting Color of Choice
Brush
Circle Stencil Sponge-brush
Star
¼” Dowel (see notes)
Styrofoam block
Glue
Optional – Sealer
Notes:
- Choose your clay pots according to the desired finished tree size. Size the saucer to the largest pot.
- I used a coated wire stem cut from a large silk daisy in place of the dowel. Options!
- Used a Styro ball since I couldn’t locate a florists block
Directions
Paint, Dot, Seal
- Paint the small, large, and one medium pot with the base color.
- Randomly place contrasting colored dots on pots with Stencil Sponge.
- Apply Sealer if using.
