Instructions

1. Use the Tacky Glue to glue buttons onto the outside of the clay pot and the clay saucer any way you want. Make sure you don’t glue buttons onto the bottom of the clay pot or the clay saucer because that is where the two pieces will be glued together.
2. Now, glue the clay pot and clay saucer together with the bottom of the saucer sticking on top of the upside down clay pot.
3. Once the glue is dry, mix the Mosaic Grout with water in a plastic dish, following the manufacturer’s instructions on the package.
4. Use the paintbrush to paint the inside of the clay saucer to look like water. Look at the photograph on the front of the project sheet to see how we did it.
5. Once the paint has dried, glue a handful of Spanish Moss onto one side of the clay saucer.
6. Glue the bird on top of the Spanish Moss.

Variation

Simply paint outside and inside of clay pots and decorate however you wish by painting, dried flowers, stenciling. Place and glue small glass decorate discs in birdbath, glue bird on edge. Embellish with tiny butterfly, ladybug, etc.
