How to make Sharks from Dollar Tree Flowerpots?
STEP ONE
To begin the Terra Cotta Pot Sharks, gather all supplies. Remove the paper tag from the clay pots. Download, print, and cut out the CLAY POT SHARK PATTERNS from the bottom of this post. Trace the inside of the shark head on the small and large clay pots with a pencil. Basecoat with Provence Sky acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP TWO
Top coat the remaining surface of the clay pots with Sapphire acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP THREE
Trace the shark mouths onto the large and small clay pots with a pencil. Paint the shark mouths with Country Red acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP FOUR
Trace the large and small set of shark’s teeth on white craft foam with a pencil, and cut out with scissors. Attach the teeth to each mouth with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP FIVE
Attach two wiggle eyes to each shark with a glue gun and glue sticks. Draw on nostrils with the MONO Twin Permanent Marker.
STEP SIX
Trace the large and small set of shark fins onto blue craft foam, and cut out with scissors. Glue one fin to the right and one fin to the left-hand side of each shark. Attach the dorsal fins to the top of each shark with a glue gun and glue sticks.
