Signature DIY Hanging Planter

1 Open a pack of air dry clay and roll into a smooth ball.

2 Push your thumb into the center to make an opening.

3 Rotate the ball in your hand and keep pressing out to widen the opening.

4 When the sides and bottom are about 1/4" and 1/2" thick, smooth out small cracks or rough edges with a drop of water on your fingertip.

5 Once you like your pot shape, punch a hanging hole through each side using the end of the paint brush. Hole should be 1/4" from the top. Add texture with the end of the paint brush if desired.

6 Air dry pot 24 hours until hard (longer if walls are very thick). Decorate with acrylic paint and let dry 3–4 hours before handling.

7 Cut a 6’ length of string in half. Fold each in half. Push folded half through holes so loop is inside the pot. Draw both cut ends through loop and pull tight.

8 Knot the 4 cut ends at the top and trim. Fit a plant inside the pot opening. Repeat steps 1–7 to make your other 2 planters. Use your skills to make different shapes and decorations!
