Start Your Terra Cotta Pot Crafts

Which of these clay pot crafts will you start with? Pin or bookmark those that you are going to create and make a shopping list. After all, with projects this quick, it is easy to make several! You will also love the way these look in your spring and summer decor.

I personally love crafts like these because they are so inexpensive. You can get terra cotta pots of all sizes for super cheap. That makes them perfect for crafting. Have some pots hanging around outside from last year? This is the perfect time to spruce them up and give them a totally new look.

Want to make these clay pot crafts but need materials? You can also order from our Amazon widget below.
