Default Terra cotta tipsy pots
Old 07-02-2007, 01:21 PM   1 links from elsewhere to this Post. Click to view. #1 (permalink)

Here is a great way to use up terra cotta pots. Not sure if this is in the gardening crafts but thought I would add it here just in case.



Since I created this tipsy in the spring the impatients have grown a lot. I'll find an updated photo to post as well.







Here is a link to one of my blog posts that gives directions.




Have fun making them.

I think this is really cute. I printed off the instructions for it. Just hope I get time someday to try it.



Thanks for sharing this.

Just a little FYI on this project I have made 2 this year and find that the tiny little clay pots dry out so fast I am needing to water several times a day so I think next year I will line the insides of the clay pots with plastic and maybe some mulch mixed in with the soil in the larger pots ~ The glazed pts would need less watering but I really like the clay pot look ~ just saving you some time ,from my experience ~
