How to make it:
- Paint the clay pot white and the wooden ball
with flesh paint. Let dry and repeat for a second coat.
- Turn the clay pot upside down and glue the
wooden ball to the center of the bottom of the pot.
- Cut the hair and beard out of brown felt
using
the pattern.
- Glue the hair across the top of the head and
glue ends in place.
- Glue the beard onto the face.
- Use an old or scruffy paintbrush (dry) to
pick up a small amount of pink paint. Dab off almost all the
excess paint and then gently dab on the pink cheeks.
- Use marker to dot on eyes, draw on eyebrows
and smile.
- Cut the robe from white felt using
the pattern.
- Wrap the robe around the body, crossing and
overlapping in the front. Glue in place.
- Use gold glitter glue to pipe a border onto
the bottom of the robe and add a cross to the front.
Tips:
- Use this craft as an opportunity to remind
children why we celebrate Easter.
- Felt is inexpensive, buy several sheets of
different colors each time you visit the craft store to keep
your stock growing.
- Clay pots are easy to paint and you can make
tons of great projects from them. Watch for sales at garden
centers and craft stores and stock up.
