Directions

1. Paint the top of the clay pot using acrylic paint. You could also use a paint marker.
2. Add the eye details, nose and hair using paint markers. I like to first outline the design in pencil. 
3. Make sure the black background of the eyes are completely dry before adding the white.
4. Add fine line details for the nose and mouth use a black fine liner pen.
5. Add pink cheeks to the smile.
6. Glue flower embellishments onto the top of the pot.
7. Add any additional designs using paint markers. Wouldn’t these scarecrow flower pots be adorable as placards for a Thanksgiving table setting? They are also a great fall craft for kids too.
