I saw snowmen made out of clay pots on the internet. They were too cute I immediately thought, hey maybe we would could make these ourselves. So thats exactly what i did. I was inspired to make these for my upcoming Christmas event as well.
You will need the ff;
- terra cotta pots
- acrylic or poster paints
- scissors
- black Sharpie marker
- old glove
- ribbon for hat
Start by painting your clay pot white. It took two coats. Set it aside and wait to dry.
Meanwhile, make a hat by cutting the fingers off of a knit glove.
Paint the rim as desired -- the scarf of the snowman.
play with colors and patterns.
When the pot is dry add the gloves upward to look like the brim of a winter hat.
Add nose with a liner brush and orange paint. Add the facial features with the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in black paint (dotted mouth and eyes) and a Sharpie marker (wiggly smile).
Let everything dry then put a light coat of Mod Podge over the face and other white areas, taking care not to hit the hat.
Each one is a little bit different but has a way of melting your heart..
Let it snow!its Christmas =)
