I love using terra-cotta clay pots to create seasonal and holiday decorations. Here are some that I made for Easter.
You can use any size pot to create these decorations. The ones in this photograph are mini terra-cotta clay pots that I stocked up on last Spring. I bought them at the Dollar Tree Store where they sell at least 3 sizes of them, but they are considered a seasonal item there. You can buy them in craft stores and garden centers throughout the year.
I apply at least 2 coats of acrylic paint to the pots before I decorate them. Tacky glue or a hot glue gun is used to adhere the features to the pots. There's a piece of a pipe cleaner between the pink and tan felt pieces on the ears so that they can be bent easily. I used jewelry wire to create the whiskers for the bunny. The wings and feet on the chick were created from fun foam.
I use the mini pots as favors at each place setting. They may not be food safe so I put candy treats in a clear treat bag before I put the treats in the pots.
Larger pots make adorable decorations.
Take care!
