How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials Needed:
A dried floral foam brick: Green in color, this rectangular block is ideal for creating arrangements of artificial or dried flowers.
A set of seven Posca markers: A collection of high-quality acrylic paint markers with medium tips. The included vibrant colors are white, black, purple, light blue, red, yellow, and orange, perfect for drawing and decorating on multiple surfaces.
Six mini terracotta pots: A set of six classic small terracotta pots, ready to be painted.
Two bouquets of artificial daisies: A charming mix of daisies, adding an instant floral touch.
Step 1: Color the Bottom of My Pot
It’s time to add some color! Grab a Posca marker and choose your favorite color. Paint the middle of the pot with your marker. It’s like coloring, but on clay!
Stop at the Edge: Be careful not to go over the large rim at the top. Leave the top of the pot bare for now.
Step 2: Decorate the Top of the Pot
Choose another color that goes well with the first one. For example, if your pot is blue, you might choose white or yellow.
Gently color the rim at the top. Try to follow the line closely for a clean finish.
Step 3: Mark the Face Placement
To ensure your pot has a straight face, we’ll use a champion trick: the Post-it
Place the Paper: Take a small sticky note and place it straight on the colored part of your pot.
Mark the Points: With your black marker, make two small dots just above the paper. They should be well aligned, as if preparing the placement for the eyes.
Remove the Guide: Gently remove the paper: your two dots are now perfectly placed to start drawing.
Step 4: Draw the Expressions and Eyes
Choose an Emotion: Is your pot happy, cheeky, or maybe a bit sleepy? To help you, you can download our free template that contains plenty of fun expression ideas to copy.
Use the two dots you made earlier as a starting point to draw the eyes. Then add a small mouth, eyelashes, or even little pink cheeks.
Step 5: Add Fun Decorations
Now that your pot has a lovely face, let’s decorate its "hat" (the top rim) to make it even more unique: Grab a color that stands out, like yellow or white. Make small dots all around the rim.
Step 6: Protect Your Work with Varnish
To ensure the paint doesn’t wash away, even if it rains outside, we’ll apply a special outdoor varnish. Using a large brush, spread the varnish over the entire pot, not forgetting the face and the little dots.
Step 7: Install the Flowers
The Magic Foam: Cut a small piece of green foam (called florist foam) and place it at the bottom of your pot. It will help hold your flowers in place.
Plant the Flowers: Choose pretty fabric flowers. Stick the stems directly into the foam.
All Done!
There you go, your little character now has a beautiful floral hairstyle. You can gift it or place it on your desk to bring joy to your home.
