How to Make a Clay Pot Frog Using Dollar Tree Pots

Each step is detailed below with pictures. If you prefer, you can print a step by step guide without images by scrolling down to the end of this tutorial.

First, paint the terra cotta pot and the foam balls with the light green paint and let dry. Repeat if you need a second coat.

Download and print the template and cut out the frog feet and six small circles from light green felt. Cut the lily pad from green felt and and three pink flowers from the water lily flower template.

Glue the eyes to the foam balls and attach to the top of the upside down pot.

Glue the frog feet to the inside of the bottom edge of the clay pot and the green circles to the back and sides of the pot.

Use a permanent marker to make nostrils and a smile and the pencil’s eraser to make painted pink cheeks.

Layer and glue all three pink flowers on each other and top with a yellow button to create the water lily. Glue it to the lily pad.

Place the frog onto the lily pad and display your cute terra cotta pot frog.
