Making Bohemian Pots with Air Dry Clay | Do it Your Self! 💪

Hello.

Recently, I bought air-drying clays from the market. My provincial experience with clay has been to make candle holders. Playing with clay was a lot of fun so I wanted to continue this and decided to make a flower pot that I saw in the videos. I share the details with you below.

Tools;

• Air Dry Clay
• Ruler
• Square Knife
• Mini Roller
• Ice Cream Stick
• Two sized water bowls
• Mini Brush

After kneading the dough for a while, I rolled it out with a rolling pin. I cut the dough by measuring the size of the plant pot I will make later.

Before I started potting, I prepared a clay paste for myself. This will be very useful for us in the merge phase. Like me, you have to prepare it first. A piece of clay and some water is enough for this.

I made the dough I cut into a ring shape and cut it for the last time from the joints according to the size. And by making scratches on the joints, I applied the paste I prepared and joined them together.

After merging I destroyed the joint with the ice cream stick.

Then I started making the bottom base of the pot. I cut the dough that I opened in a round shape according to the size of my flower pot.

After I cut the bottom of the plant pot, I started to assemble it. Before I put it together, I made tiny cuts on it with a cutting tool to hold it securely.

Then I put putty where I made the cuts. So they will be very firmly joined.

I gently smoothed the edges with my fingers.

Then I turned it upside down and smoothed the edges with an ice cream stick.

Then I dipped the sponge into the water and wrung out the excess water and continued to smooth out the rough parts of the clay.

I started making the legs of the plant pot. I took some clay and formed it into a tubular shape and cut it into four parts.

We will add a figure to reflect the bohemian style on the flower pot. For this, I need to make an eye and nose shape. I opened some clay with a medium thickness and drew the shapes that I would put on it.

I corrected the eyes a little with my hands and pressed the middle of the eye with the back of the knife to add depth to the inner part of the eye.

Before gluing the eyes, I make good cuts.

I put putty on the cuts and gently made it stick to the pot.

Not without drawing lips! Do not forget to add a small smile. And now all that's left is to put on your feet.

In the same way, I made cuts on the feet and combined them with putty. Then I set it aside to dry.

I had so much fun doing it. It just messed around more than the other white clay, but I still had a good time. It turned out to be a very funny flower pot. After it dried, I immediately added my favorite succulent. It was a very sweet plant pot. I'm even thinking of giving it a special name. :)

How did you find the flower pot I made?

See you in the next article. Take good care of yourself. Don't forget to have fun!

Love,
