Ingredients
  

  • Clay pot with saucer
  • Decorative paper napkins sunflowers
  • Paint in white, yellow, brown
  • Paintbrushes
  • Decoupage or Mod Podge
  • Raffia ribbon
  • Unfinished wood mushroom or wood bead

Instructions
 

  • Paint the outside of the clay pot with white paint and let dry.
  • Next, apply a coat of decoupage glue around the clay pot.
  • Separate the two plies of napkin using just the top layer. Place the napkin around the pot and gently press down with your fingers. You may need to cut a slit in the napkin so that it can go around the curved pot.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper over top of the napkin and take your heated iron and gently rub back and forth. This will smooth out the napkin. Remove any excess napkin from the pot.
  • Next, paint the clay pot saucer with yellow paint and the unfinished wood mushroom or wood bead brown. Let dry.
  • Glue the bead onto the saucer to form a little handle.
  • Wrap raffia ribbon around the bead and you’re done!
