Clay Pot Cow
Make this cute cow using a terra cotta clay pot and a few other supplies.


Materials Needed:
  • 2 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot
  • 1 1/2 inch Wooden Ball Head
  • White and Peach Fun Foam
  • Paint
  • Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray
  • Glue (hot glue gun preferred)
Instructions:
Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.

Paint the clay pot and the wooden ball head white. Put them aside to dry.

Once the paint is dry, glue the wooden ball onto the bottom of the clay pot (figure 1). Paint a nose, eyes, and mouth on the wooden ball (figure 2). I also painted black spots on the cow head and body (refer to photo). For the face of my cow in the photos, I used simple rub-on decals! Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer.

 

Cut ears out of white fun foam and horns out of peach colored fun foam and glue them in place.

This part is optional! Cut two half circles out of white fun foam, and glue them onto the bottom edge of the clay pot for feet. Your cow is now complete.
