If your child has an artistic and creative bent of mind and they really enjoy making something decorative and very attractive, then the clay pots crafts are indeed definitely an activity that you should involve your child in. Your creative child can very well make the different items or can also make some great paintings on the clay flowerpot in such a fascinating way that it will very well make the plant look much better. This may also probably happen that one will not even notice the plant just because the painted clay pot is so very attractive.

In order to create beautiful painted claypot crafts, you particularly need to have a 4" clay pot, an opaque apple green acrylic paint for the purpose of painting, the opaque blue lagoon acrylic paint that suits the best, opaque yellow acrylic paint, some semi opaque pumpkin acrylic paint, or semi opaque white acrylic paint as per the preference.

Here are a few simple steps in order to make crafts with clay pots:

1. One have to first start with a small ruler and a pencil, then have to measure the height of the chosen clay flower pot starting from below the rim. It is indeed wise to particularly mark off the halfway point between the top and the bottom of the concerned clay pot. Altogether you should rightly measure and mark off the halfway point at the four opposite places on the particular pot.

2. After that by holding the measuring tape up to the particular clay pot, it is required to connect the halfway points and then carefully draw a light pencil line between all the marked halfway point marks around the particular pot.

3. Then in the next step, it is required to line up the ruler with each of the marked halfway points around the pot one at a time and then draw a light pencil line from the top of the pot just below the rim to the bottom of the pot at this particular point. You will in total have 8 squares which are drawn on the pot.

4. Now, it is time to choose the color scheme or the assortment of the colors into squares that have been drawn on the pot. In one set of the squares, you can rightly fill any of the combination of two colors and in the other one also you can fill other set of the desired colors.
