DIY // Make your own clay pots

 For this DIY you will need:

• Air dry clay
• Gesso
• Paint + Paintbrushes
• Palette 
• Craft mat
• Rolling pin
• Cup + Plate
• Knife

1) Use a chunk of clay that is in-between the size of a golf ball and tennis ball. Warm up the clay in your hands to make it moveable.

2) Use a rolling pin to flatten the clay out. Make it about 4mm thick.

3) Use a bowl as a guide to cut a circle out.

4) Carefully mould the clay around a plastic cup to give it shape. Smooth out the edges with your fingers so that it not crinkled.
5) Leave it sit for approx 48 hours so that it can dry.

6) Prime your pot with gesso so that the final layer of paint will stick to it.
7) Paint it your choice of colour and leave to dry!

Wolah! There you have your very own clay pot. I hope that you enjoyed this DIY. Make sure that you tag #thesamantharoom with your creations so I can see what you have made!
