This adorable Christmas clay pot craft is fun, quick, and the treat options are absolutely endless! Let’s get started with this fun Christmas gift idea!
Materials
- small terracotta pots (we used these small, but not miniature pots)
- paint (we used DecoArt Chalky Finish in red, green, white, and black from Amazon)
- medium flat paintbrush (this makes it so easy when you use about a half-inch-sized brush)
- optional, ModPodge to seal and a foam brush to apply
- wrap and treat assortment (see below for more ideas)
Instructions
- For each paint, coat the pot in a color (you might need two coats of white).
- Mix together a 50-50% blend of paint with black (red and black, for the red pot, for example). Use it to paint horizontal lines. The flat brush makes this easy!
- Once dry, paint vertical lines with the 50-50 mixed paint.
- Once dry, use only the black paint to cover the placed where the horizontal and vertical lines join.
- If using, seal with ModPodge and fill with treats!
Ideas to Fill These Fun Christmas Treat Jars
We used these fun gumballs as part of our filler, but some of our favorite holiday treats for gift jars are:
- single-serving hot cocoa packets tied with a decorative ribbon
- peppermints, mini candy canes, or another holiday candy
- Christmas finger puppets
- we have these Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ones (plastic)
- I want this adorable set of 3 Christmas finger puppets – cute and they’re handmade!
