Darling daughter’s birthday was last week and we needed an easy craft to add to the evening’s festivities. This was super easy and the girls loved it!
We cut up a box as our drop cloth and said a little prayer to the flooring gods they didn’t drip craft paint on the new floor. They are tweens now, you’d think we were safe.
Each kid got a 5-inch pot. The fact that nine terra cotta pots made it from store shelf to birthday party is to be noted as I’m not known to be graceful.
I grabbed my box of old craft paints and got a few ‘in bulk’ sizes of key girl colors and basically said go.
There was a TON of excess paint used. Be ready for that.
Once we grabbed some toothpicks the artists kept going. And 12 hours later it was still a gelatinous mess. We even had a fan on high overnight on these puppies.
Two girls pulled the store sticker off that covered the drain hole. I cut some cardstock to cover them. It didn’t work but those two girls created something even more amazing than the pots:
Fun huh? No amateur could ever go where these two blobs went.
