4) Cut one side of the clay rectangle so that it is a straight line, this will be the bottom of your planter. You may cut the top of the other side straight or leave it alone for a more organic look.

5) Cut the sides of the rectangle straight, first making sure it is long enough to wrap around the clay circle. Use the rounded end of the clay tool to push a staggered pattern of dots into the clay
