These cute trees are easy for kids to make, and they can be made quite inexpensively too!
1 small terra cotta pot
1 medium terra cotta pot
1 large terra cotta pot
Green acrylic paint (Christmas tree shade)
Decorations (mini tinsel, glitter, sequins, beads, etc)
Glue
Take your three terra cotta pots. Place the largest one upside down, then place the medium pot upside down on top of it, then the smallest pot on top of that upside down. This will make the tree shape. Glue them together – it is easiest if you glue the rim of the pot above it, and then press it down on the base of the pot below. Allow glue to dry.
Paint them with green acrylic paint, and allow to dry.
Next, decorate the tree by using glue to attach various beads, sequins, etc to the pots. Glitter glue is perfect for adding “tinsel” streamers. Allow to dry once more, and it is ready for decorating your house or as a great gift!
