This morning I stepped outside in a sweater and shorts only to run back inside and change into jeans. It’s getting chilly over here!
I’ve got quite a few plants and succulents outside that need a new winter home inside the house. Here’s a fun solution for creating cute planters that match the decor inside your home!
Related: Check out our Plants archive for more ideas!
Supplies Needed:
–terra cotta pot
–paper clay (takes about half a pack per planter)
-something to stamp the clay with
–acrylic paint
Step 1: Smooth the paper clay around the planter from just under the lip to the very bottom of each vessel.
Step 2: Use a household object to stamp a pattern all over your paper clay. We used a paint pen cap, a pen cap, and a flat clay knife to create the cross pattern.
Allow the clay to air dry overnight before painting.
Step 3: Paint your vessel with acrylic paint. Add more coats until it is completely covered. We used three minty paint shades to create this little set.
Enjoy your pretty new pots! Happy Sunday! xo. elsie

Hi, I’ve been trying to make pinch pots and other items out of air dry clay. They keep falling apart as soon as they’re exposed to humidity. From the research I’ve done on airdry clays, including paper clay, they cannot take moisture. How did you get around that? Especially since clay pots are porous. Did you seal the pots before you added the clay? I can tell you’ve painted and used some kind of sealer on the outside. I would love to know how you kept them from crumbling. Thanks!http://franklincoveysouthasia.com/
