Materials Needed

Here are the materials you’ll need:

Step-by-Step Guide

Now let’s get started:

Paint the terra cotta saucers and pots with outdoor acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry in between each coat

Using the hot glue gun, glue the largest pot upside down onto the large saucer. This will be the base of your plant pot man

Glue the medium-sized pots on top of the large one, making sure they are spaced evenly and leaning forward slightly at an angle

Glue the small pot on top of the two medium-sized ones, and then glue the smaller terra cotta saucer on top of the small pot

Next, use the hot glue gun to attach the decorative stones to the front of the large pot. These will be the eyes and mouth of your plant pot man

Plant a small plant in the top pot

Finally, insert the shepherd’s hook or garden stake into the soil of the top pot. This will allow you to display your plant pot man in your garden

Personalization Tips

It’s easy to personalize your plant pot man to fit your personality and interests. Here are some ideas:

Paint the pots and saucers to resemble your favorite superhero or movie character

Use moss, twine, or other materials to create hair or accessories for your plant pot man
