Switch to Desktop/Mobile View

Here is a great idea for Mother’s Day. Make your mother a clay pot recipe holder. The following are the items you need to pick up:

One 2 inch clay pot
One 2 ½ inch clay pot saucer
White acrylic paint
Plaster of Paris
Silk flowers
Permanent markers
Craft moss
Plastic forks
Hot glue gun
Recipe card

Use a damp cloth to clean the clay pot then allow them to dry. Next, paint the pot and saucer white and let them dry. Fill the pot with plaster mix and when it starts to set, insert plastic flowers and a plastic fork with tines up and cover them with plastic moss. Once it has dried, decorate the pot with paint, markers, or ribbon. Place your mother’s favorite recipe card in the fork and you now have a cute Mother’s Day gift!

You can make a clay pot into almost anything with a little imagination. Use a clay pot to give gifts in such as: wedding gifts, baby shower gifts, or birthday gifts. Decorate the outside of the pot with different holiday themes and pass them out to your neighbors. Clay pot crafts are fun and with a little glue, paint and imagination, you can turn a boring old pot into a work of art!
