What You Need: |
How To Make It |
|
Time
needed: Under 1 Hour |
Step 1: |
Cover the work area with newspaper. Before starting to decorate the pot, sort through the pottery pieces and discard any that have sharp edges (a parent's job). |
Step 2: |
Spread a heavy layer of tile grout onto the flowerpot with the plastic knife. Then press the tile pieces into the wet grout. When finished, spread a little more grout between the pieces so that most of the broken edges are covered. |
|
Step 3: |
After the pot is dry, wipe off any grout film with a damp sponge. |
|
Tips: |
If you don't have broken pottery, place chipped, leftover tiles in a clear plastic bag (this way you can see what you're smashing) and break them with a hammer. Another good source for broken tiles is your local tile or hardware store; many will give you broken display tiles for free. |
