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. | | | | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to CraftyGardener For This Useful Post: | | | Moderator Points: 10,155, Level: 43 | Level up: 44%, 245 Points needed |

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 ~ | | | | | Junior Member Level up: 9%, 95 Points needed |
