Clay pot Christmas Trees

You will need the following items:

three clay pots in graduating sizes
clay saucer
thick designer tacky glue
gold or yellow paint
green paint
red paint
glitter glaze
mini micro beads or buttons
small wooden star
snow in a jar

glue the pots together with the smallest of the graduating pots on top. Then
glue the saucer, turned upside down, to the largest pot. Got me so far? This
will be the base of the "christmas tree" The clay pots are turned upside
down and stacked on top of each other with the smallest on top. Got the
picture?

Ok, now paint the saucer red, and the pots green. Paint the wooden star
yellow or gold. Now put a coat of the glitter glaze over all of it. when
dry, put the snow in a jar around the edges of the pots. Let dry, glue the
star to the top of the "tree", now glue the mini beads or buttons all over,
like "ornaments" on a tree.

I know it sounds like alot of supplies, but the paint and the glitter glaze
and the snow go a long way and will make quite a few "trees". the clay pots
are really cheap, and the beads or buttons are really cheap to, and one bag
does about 5 trees.

I did this last year for gifts, and everyone just loved them. One great
thing about this, is you can get whatever size pots and make whatever size
tree. From a tiny one to a huge one that could sit outside your front door.
If you make a big one for outside , make sure you put a sealer over it so
the weather doesn't screw it up.
