DIY Clay Succulent Planter Tutorial
1) Cut out circle & rectangle from template. Remove clay from wrappers and roll each one into a small ball. Combine 4 balls into one and roll into a log.
2) Use roller or large rolling pin to create a rectangle that is about 1/4" thick & about the size of the template rectangle (it won't be perfect!) Careful not to make it too thin.
3) On one end (use end that is the smallest) place circle on clay and cut out circle using clay tool.
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
6) Working very carefully with the the clay to ensure no finger prints or indentations, wrap rectangle around the clay circle. Use rounded end of tool to gently smooth over joint where the ends meet.
7) Seal bottom of planter by creating a thin snake with leftover clay & pushing snake into joint inside where the circle and sides meet. Bake planter in oven about 15-20 mins at 275 (do not let burn!)
8) Remove & let harden as it cools. Once cool, brush 2 coats of gloss glaze per directions. Add succulent using dirt or stones to raise to desired height.
Enjoy!
