Unique Decorator Pots

This is so easy, even a child could do this for a project.
Items needed:
clay pot
white glue (clear drying)
hot glue gun (optional) for larger additions such as rose buds
suggested coatings:
  • rosemary
  • thyme
  • artemisia
  • seeds of all sorts
  • moss
  • bay leaf
  • rose leaf
  • tiny rose buds
  • sticks and stems
  • seed pods
  • even sand... just to name a few. Be imaginative!

Working with a small area at a time, take clay pot and apply a generous amount of glue to the outside of the pot. Pat the dried leaves or seeds on the glue. Repeat this on another area of the pot. Do only a little at a time. Allow to dry before continuing. (This eliminates smears and messes) Continue until the outside of the pot is covered. Let dry before handling. Add a pretty ribbon just below the rim. ( Optional: apply tiny rose buds with hot glue gun along the outer side of rim.)

*** Use pot for decorator purposes only, with artificial flowers and such, not for real planting of live plants.
