Author: Shellie Deringer
Recipe type: Kids Craft
Ingredients
  • Small terra cotta flower pot
  • Assorted craft paints
  • Paint brush
  • Scrap construction paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Craft glue
  • Scissors
  • Pipe cleaners
Instructions
  1. First, you want to apply a coat of paint to the flower pot. For our sample picture, we used green craft paint applied in two coats. Simply place the pot on some scrap paper to protect your surface and start painting. Apply a second coat if you wish for a deeper color.
  2. Once your surface is dry, you can start working on the face of the monster. For our sample picture, we used black scrap paper and created stitches on the face. You can add freckles, stitches, pink cheeks, designs, or any other embellishment you choose.
  3. Complete the face by using your craft glue to attach the googly eyes. Just add a generous dab of glue to the back of each eye and press it firmly to the pot. Hold until it is secure.
  4. Now it is time to create some hair. To do this you want to take your pipe cleaners (in a variety of colors or monotone, the choice is yours) and twist them in fun and funky ways. You can make corkscrews, zig zags, or any other fun shapes. Creativity is key.
  5. Insert the hair into the head by poking it through the drainage hole of the pot. Add a dab of glue to secure it if it seems to be slipping down too much into the hole.
