Material list

The cone ball in the terracotta pot is a classic beauty. Even inexperienced people will certainly succeed in decorating it. For this idea the chalky colour was once used without a special chalky technique.

Terracotta pot Design

In the first step, a Terracotta pot is primed with white paint. As soon as the primer is dry, put some grey paint on a wet sponge and wipe over the pot surface - a soft wipe look is created.

The little heart is made of plasticine. This mass is mixed according to instructions and pressed firmly into a small heart shape. The so formed Clay concrete is then carefully removed from the mould and left to dry overnight.

hen the plasticine heart fits perfectly to Terracotta pot , it will also be designed with a Paint sponge and chalky color. Small glued-on beads give the heart that special something. The heart is positioned on the terracotta pot and glued on.

Trunnion ball

First of all, Polystyrene ball is primed with brown Handicraft paint so that no disturbing white shines through even when the cones are loosely plugged in.

After drying, the cones are dotted with hot glue and stuck into the ball close together until it is completely covered.

Dilute some white paint with water and brush the cone surfaces. This creates a discreet "snow look"
Now glue the ball with hot glue into the top.

Decoration

With the help of double-sided Adhesive tape Lace ribbon glued to the bell jar. Made from the same lace and narrow Satin ribbon a nice bow is tied. This could be attached to a plug wire and simply plugged into Polystyrene ball . Even easier: fix the loop to the ball with hot glue.
