How cute are those candy dishes I posted earlier? Way cute! I've been busy making more! So here they are!
***UPDATE*** In case you haven't looked at earlier posts (the scarecrow candy dish) I will let you know how to make these here.
What you need:
terracotta pot and saucer(s) (I got mine on clearance at Menard's)
glass bowl (dollar tree has a few sizes to choose from)
knob for top (I used cedar moth balls from Menard's)
glue (E6000 or hot glue)
paint (acrylic for the pots and Enamels for the glass)
brushes, work space, water, embellishments
The total cost is around $2.50!
Step 1: Paint the pots, saucers and knobs anyway you like.
Step 2: Let them dry completely!! (Glue doesn't like to stick to damp paint)
Step 3: Paint the glass with enamels. (Bake in oven to set the paint-follow instructions on paint)
Step 4: Glue the glass bowl to the painted clay pot. Make sure they line up so the head is facing the front (Hot glue dries fast! E6000 is more forgiving.)
Step 5: Glue the knob to the saucer and place on the glass dish for a hat. It's best to not use the knob to lift the hat off the bowl in case your glue didn't adhere completely or you might break your candy dish.
You can create many different dishes for many different occasions! They are cute and don't take a lot of time to make. Embellish your candy dishes how ever you like. Make them your own!
Happy Creating!
