Christmas Fun - Clay Flower Pot Christmas Tree
I found this idea on Pintrest (Clay Pot Christmas Tree) and I couldn't resist trying this with Liam this year.
Not only is it super cute and easy but it is cheap!
All you need is 3 different sized flower pots, green acrylic paint, two or three other colours of acrylic paint, a foam paint brush, a pencil crayon, a little bit of felt (scraps will work), glue, a star, a wooden skewer and acrylic sealer. I got everything I needed at the dollar store except for the acrylic sealer, I had to go to Walmart for that.
Here's how to do it . . . with picture!
Assemble materials.
Paint flower pots with foam paint brush.
Dabbing the brush gives a textured look and better coverage of paint.
Use the flat end of a pencil crayon to put "decorations" on your tree. If your child is older, they can use a paint brush and paint more elaborate designs.
Once the paint is all dry, glue some felt pieces around the inside of each pot. This is so that the pots one stick together when stacked.
Cover all three pots with acrylic sealer and stack. Attach a star to a wooden skewer and place through the bottom center holes of the flower pots.
And there is it, a Clay Flower Pot Christmas Tree!
I think that one made out of the really big clay pots would make a cool outdoor Christmas Decoration! I will put that on next year`s to do list!
