When you want to make those dull, red clay pots into something for display, all you need is some tissue paper, glue and water mixture and clear varnish.
Needed:
- clay pot
- tissue paper
- glue and water mixture - it can be pretty thin
- plastic cup
- paint brush
- clear varnish
Instructions:
- Lay newspaper out on a flat surface.
- Put clay pot upside down in the center of the newspaper.
- Make a glue/water mixture in the plastic cup. (About 2 parts glue, 1 part water.)
- Use the paint brush to spread the glue mixture all over the clay pot.
- Stick tissue paper to the pot in any design you wish. Completely cover the clay surface.
- Cover the tissue paper with additional glue.
- Allow the pot to dry totally.
- Once dry, cover the entire pot with a clear varnish.
- Allow the pot to dry totally again.
- Fill with potting soil, your favorite plant or some seeds, and enjoy.
This project is quite easy, and can be done by the youngest child.
