How to make a Sea Shell trimmed Terra Cotta Pot

Terra Cotta Shell Trimmed Pot.

Great to use for for plants or as a candle holder. Easy to make too.

Materials :
6 1/2" wide terra cotta pot
small assorted seashells
2-1/2" pillar candle
Gold felt square
6 to 8 cups of sand
Scissors
Low temperature glue gun and sticks or tacky craft glue

How to make

1. Glue the shells around the rim of the terra cotta pot, alternating colors and sizes. Fill in around larger shells with smaller shells.

2. Glue the felt to the bottom of the dish and trim to fit.

3. Pour sand into the pot until it is 3/4 full. Push the candle 1/2" into the sand.

Gluing tips:
• When gluing scallop shells to a flat surface or a wreath, it helps to use a piece of floral foam. Trim a 1/2" square piece of foam and glue it to the curved underside of the shell to create a flat gluing surface.

• To secure heavy shells, place glue on the shell back and press it onto a piece of felt. Let dry and cut the felt to the size of the shell.
