Craft Title
This decorated flower
pot is very impressive. It is a wonderful gift for Mom or any
plant lover. It is made from a simple Terra cotta pot and air
hardening clay. You do not need to have any prior experience working
with clay to make this craft. All the step by step directions
are below. Get creative and think of some other designs to
put on your flower pot!
If you would like to find a use for the rest of
the clay you did not use, be sure to check out the football coin holder project on
the Father's Day page.
Things Needed:
- Terra cotta flower pot (you can pick
these up at the dollar store or craft store, usually for only $1)
- Air hardening clay in Terra cotta color
(sold by the polymer clay in craft stores),
- Hot glue
- White acrylic paint
- Paint brush
- Sandpaper
1.
Begin your decorated flower pot by washing and drying the
Terra cotta pot completely. Open up the package of air
hardening clay. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how
to work with it and store it. Usually it is very soft right
out of the package, ready to mold. Store unused clay tightly
wrapped in plastic wrap and in an air-tight container. Begin
to roll little balls of clay between your hands, to make the grapes.
Make some large, some small.
 
2. Begin to assemble the bunch of grapes. Make the
stem by rolling a small cylinder of clay, and then bending it.
Make a leaf by rolling a ball, then pinching it at each end
to make a football shape, then flatten slightly. Set up your
work to dry on a piece of card stock.
3.
Allow to dry completely. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. It usually takes a full day for the clay balls
to harden.
4. Take one grape at a time, and apply hot glue to each one.
Then adhere the grape to the side of the flower pot.
Try to maintain the design, working from the middle of the
bunch of grapes, out.
