Materials

You will also need Glue gun and sticks. Scissors, paintbrush, and black marker.

    Instructions

    • Basecoat the top (once the pots are turned upside down) of the clay pots with yellow acrylic craft paint. Then allow for the paint dry before applying a second coat, also if necessary.
      Next, apply topcoat the rim (which will be the bottom once the pot is turned upside down) of the clay pots with blue acrylic craft paint. Set this aside to dry. You can apply a second coat, if necessary.
      Lastly, basecoat the plastic water bottle caps with metallic silver acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, however if necessary.
    • Use the black acrylic craft paint and paint this line approximately one inch down from the top (the pot is turned upside down) of the clay pot with a small flat paintbrush. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, however if necessary.
      For the hair, cut the black chenille stems into smaller sections with scissors. Insert into the drain hole at the top of the clay pot and secure with a glue gun and glue sticks. Style the Minion hair as desired.
    • For the eyes, glue the on to the dried painted plastic water bottle caps securing with a glue gun and glue sticks. Then attach one or two eyes to each Minion along the black band with a glue gun and glue sticks.
    • Using a permanent black marker, draw on the Minions mouths, creating a variety of expressions. Then you can draw on the stitches around the rim of the clay pot to mimic the Minions overalls.
