INSTRUCTIONS
Clay pots come in all sizes from very
small to very large. The smaller ones are inexpensive. Pictured
is a 2 inch pot a 3 inch pot and a 4 inch pot. To start, measure
the pot edge rim. That will be the distance to measure up
from the bottom edge of your pot. Example a 2 inch pot rim
is just over a 1/2 inch, so measure up just over a 1/2 inch
from the bottom edge. With a pencil make a small mark as you
measure around the bottom of the pot. Draw a light pencil
line connecting the pencil marks. This area around the bottom
will be painted white, the middle is painted orange, the rim
and inside of the pot is painted yellow. To paint, put an
upside-down pot over your hand or a couple of fingers. It
is easiest to start with the white on the bottom, then paint
the orange then the rim. Turn your wrist as you paint around
the pot. You can wait for the outside of you pot to dry and
then paint the inside. Or place your pot right side up and
with out to much pressure paint the inside of your pot, being
careful not to tip your pot over. It may take a couple of
coats of paint. Dry thoroughly overnight. Fill with Halloween
candy or use as decoration. For a party favor fill a 2 inch
candy corn pot with candy corn. Wrap a 12 inch by 12 inch
square cellophane up around it and tie with orange curly ribbon.
Another cute idea is to put on pumpkin face in the orange
section.
