Pinch a Pot of Petals
If you’re in a pinch for an easy project, Pinch a Pot of Petals gets a big thumbs up!
1. Color white Crayola Model Magic® with color from Crayola Washable Markers. Add color and knead until you get the hue you want.
2. Smooth Model Magic into a ball. Push your thumb into the center. Turn the pot as you pinch to keep the pot walls an even thickness. Press the bottom on a flat surface so it will stand straight.
3. Mix other marker colors into more Model Magic to make pot decorations. Invent your own colors and designs, such as flower petals or vines. Damp Model Magic sticks to itself, so just press on the decorations.
4. Air-dry your pot overnight. Fill it with dried flowers, potpourri, or other delights.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
