Clay Pot Craft – Tutorial

Here’s a quick video tutorial for you, as well as simple written instructions below:

  1. Paint the clay pot with white acrylic craft paint.  Make sure to paint the inside of the clay pot white as well.  Paint about the top inch of the inside of the pot. Paint the saucer as well. Let dry.
  2. Select 6 family photos, and print them on a sheet of regular computer paper.  You can use photo editing software to make a photo collage that is 8.5×11″.  I do not recommend photo paper, as the paper may be too stiff to adhere to the curved surface of the clay pot.  Cut out each individual picture.
  3. Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge on the side of the clay pot.  Smooth a photo over the Mod Podge and seal with another layer.  Repeat with the remaining 5 photos.  Trim the photos if needed to make a collage.
  4. Optional: Using a contrasting color, paint a name or saying on the top border of the clay pot.  Ours reads, “My favorite people call me Grandma.”
