Plant Potters

 Petite Plant Potters

Step 1: Gather your materials

• 1 piece of green construction paper (we made 2 plants so there are 2 pieces pictured)
• 1 piece of blue construction paper
• 1 brown bag (or brown construction paper)
• Glue
• Tape
• Scissors
• Black and pink markers (all other colors are optional and can be used for decoration)
• Pencil
• White colored pencil
• Any colored ribbon OPTIONAL
• Googly eyes

Step 2: Draw the plant

 Grab the green construction paper and trace your hand! Preferably in pencil so you can trace in black marker!

After tracing in black marker, cut the hand shape out. You can flip the hand over to hide the black marker!

Step 3: Draw the plant pot

Draw a large trapezoid and slim rectangle on the brown paper bag or brown construction paper.

Cut it out! Flip the pieces over if the black marker can be seen.

 Glue the rectangle and trapezoid together. This will create our plant pot!

Step 4: Assemble the pieces

Glue OR tape (or both) the hand shaped plant to the back of our newly create plant pot.

Step 5: Decorate and Details

Glue on googly eyes or you can also draw them out with black marker and white colored pencil.

Create patterns with white colored pencil on the plant. You can choose to add face details like a smile, or eyebrows with the black marker. You could also add pink cheeks with a pink marker. 

Step 6: Optional bow

Grab the string that was optionally mentioned before.

Tie it into a bow! This can be done by making two "bunny ears", crossing them over, and snipping the ribbon "tails" until desired length reached!

Now glue your adorable ribbons to your plant pots!

Step 7: Final touches

Now glue your completely assembled plant pots to the blue construction paper. At this point, you can choose to add small details like grass on the ground, or birds in the sky!

Enjoy you new adorable friends, and we hope you had fun!
