Tips For Creating This Terra Cotta Pot Craft

  • Once you get the hang of making this craft, use what you’ve learned to try creating other fun fruits. I’m thinking an orange and apple would be pretty dang easy and fun!
  • Be certain to use safe paint for the kids and let it dry completely or they’re going to have it all over their hands!
  • Make sure to coat your finished terra cotta pot crafts with a good coat of a high quality craft sealant like Mod Podge. This is going to ensure that whatever you or the kiddos paint will end up being something that lasts.
