Instructions:
Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.

Paint the entire clay pot and saucer red, let the paint dry. Paint the wooden spool green. Paint a face on your apple. Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer.

Flip the saucer upside down and place it as a lid on top of the clay pot apple. Glue the wooden spool on to the saucer to look like a stem. Cut a small leaf shape or two out of craft foam or felt glue it to the side of the wooden spool. Let all of the glue dry.

Your apple is now done! A great place to keep treasures, candy, or other small items.
