With a little imagination, simple crafts skills, and these fabulous projects—all photographed in color—anyone can turn basic clay flowerpots into jazzy, snazzy ornaments and gifts. An array of talented designers show how, as they present more than three dozen ideas for decorating pots with paint, decoupage, and other easy techniques. Many of the decorations will brighten a garden, with pots as planters, as water fountains, even as a sun-dial. Welcome the birds with a cheerful Whimsical Feeder: it has wings and a tail cut from a milk jug and a smiling beak made from a plastic funnel. Other great items include a Snow Fairy, Cherry Tray, and Gingerbread Cookie Jar. Every project comes complete with patterns worksheets, painting examples, and assembly diagrams.
