Miniatures - Plant Pot

Not having blogged a pattern before, I'm not guaranteeing the sizes of the finished project

Equipment Needed

• Card – thinner than cardstock, but thicker than cereal packets.
• Paint (colour of your choice. I’ve done white )
• Very fine sand
• Glue
• Fine embossing tool

Instructions:

Place pattern on paper of your choice. Double sided tape will hold it
Cut out the pieces
To make it easier to cut out the bottom, score and fold the bottom of the plant pot under

Fold so that the dark cutting lines are on the inside













Fold each section separately to get a good sharp fold
Put glue on the side tab(2)
Let dry
Put glue on the bottom tab(1)
Fold under to form the base of the plant pot.
Let dry.

Finished pots

For the stone look

Paint glue onto 1 side of the plant pot

Dip the glue painted side into craft sand (colour depends on the effect you are looking for)

Let the side dry.
Repeat with other 3 sides.

Paint over the dried sand/glue (again the colour depends on the effect you are looking for). The paint needs to be quite thick to cover.

Use paint and/or sand to cover over any mistakes or pattern lines.
