Transform clay pots to a mini lighthouse for your garden
Transform clay pots to a mini lighthouse for your garden
Spray the clay pots with multiple layers of primer. Add layers and allow to dry according to primer instructions. Spray them in a well-ventilated area.
Stack the pots and use a pencil to mark where they overlap. Now you have the area that will show when they are stacked.
Divide the exposed area into equal sections for the painted stripes. Use a ruler to make marks all the way around the pot, then connect the marks so that you have a guideline for painting.
Paint the red areas, allowing them to dry in between coats. Apply paint until you have even coverage.
Paint the white areas, allowing the paint to dry in between coats. Apply paint until you have even coverage.
Optional: You can spray your painted lighthouse with exterior polyurethane for added protection.
Apply glue to the pots and stack them together. Apply glue to the bottom of the lantern and the top of the clay pot lighthouse base. Attach lantern. Allow the glue to dry completely.
Add a candle to the lantern and enjoy your new lighthouse!
