Terra Cotta Pot Christmas Tree
Isn't this adorable???
Very easy to make and affordable.
I'll show you how I did it...
I used 4 Terra Cotta Pots..Small, Smaller, Tiny & Tinier...
When you're at the store, stack them up like this to make sure they fit
Next I painted them green using Acrylic Paints..I like this lighter green but feel free to use which ever green you like.
You'll need to apply 2 coats, but by the time you're done with the 4th one the 1st one will be dry, so there's no waiting for the paint to dry
Next I used a pencil eraser to make little dot's (Christmas Lights) on the tree
I also used some Cotton Balls to make "snow" on the pot's edges :)
I just cut a Cotton Ball in half...stretched it out and stuck it on using a glue stick
Voila! Done!!
Now I just need to find a little Angel or Star to put on top...
I'll post an update pic when I do that :)
Have a great day!
and..
Happy Crafting!
