    Frequently asked questions about terra cotta craft projects.

    What is a terra cotta clay pot?

    Terra cotta, sometimes spelled terracotta, is a simple pot made from organic clay.
    They are typically orange in color, have a hole in the bottom, and come in different sizes.

    Unlike ceramic pots, terra cotta pots have not been finished or glazed.
    This is often what makes them perfect for craft projects.

    How do you decorate a terra cotta clay pot?

    Clay pot have many uses beyond holding plants.
    They are also relatively inexpensive which makes clay pot crafting even better (imo).
    What you should know is that before you start crafting with a terra cotta clay pot, is that it should be clean, dry, and free of any debris or stickers. This will make painting and decorating your clay pot easier to do.

    1. Most, if not all, of the materials can be found at a local dollar store or discount store. You can also find candy to fill them with while you are there.

    4. While this project is suitable for most ages, some folks may need a bit of assistance as needed. This is especially true with the painting and gluing.

    How to make this Terra Cotta Pot Bunny Craft DIY.


    Step One: prepare.

    Start by downloading the template for the ears. Then prepare your workspace as needed and gather the materials as well. It is also a good idea to make sure that your terra cotta pots are free of debris and labels.

    Step Two: paint the pots.

    Using a paintbrush, apply a base coat of paint the inside and the outside of the 2.5” clay pots with blue, pink, or purple acrylic craft paint. Then allow the paint to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.

    Step Three: make the ears.

    1. Cut out the ear patterns and trace the ear pattern onto blue, pink, and purple craft felt four time each.
    2. To create the bunny ears, first bend a white chenille stem into a “U” shape and attach to the craft felt ear to it using the hot glue.
    3. Trim the ends of the chenille stem with scissors.
    4. Repeat the last two steps for the second ear.
    5. Attach the completed bunny ears to the top inside edge of the clay pot with a glue gun and glue sticks.

    Expert Tip👉 Make sure to cut inside the raced lines, so you end up with a clean, finished project.

    Step Four: Finish the bunny.

    Glue the pompom on to the bottom outside of the pot that is opposite to the side that the ears were glued on to. You can reference my images as needed. Then make any optional decorations, such as drawing on a face, as desired.

    Expert Tip👉 Use my images as a guide if you are unsure of anything from the instructions.
