Clay Pot Lighthouse

The ladies and I made adorable lighthouses for our last ladies wine and craft night.

They were so much fun and they all came out so cute. I think everyone was surprised how easy they were to make and how awesome they are going to look in our gardens this summer.

The hardest part was finding the right size clay pots that stacked nicely. For our craft nights, I gather all the supplies and everyone pays for their "craft kit" that keeps costs down for everyone since one spool of rope is needed not 6 and we needed 2 bags of seashells for 6 people so we split the cost. I ended up going to both AcMoore and Joann to mix and match clay pots until I got the sizes right to stack nicely. We painted the pots with White wall paint primer before everyone arrived. primer is always a good idea when painting clay pots because your basic acrylic paint will take too many coats and no one wants to sit and watch paint dry on craft night waiting to start the next coat of paint. when primed by the time you paint all the pots you can start over with coat 2 and that should be enough. I found the cute fencing at a thrift store and painted it to match my lighthouse but you can also get it at the craft store. The little solar lights on top came from the Dollar Tree. and the windows were made with vinyl cut on a Cricut machine. 

All together this project cost each person 20.00 for supplies and as always we had a blast crafting sipping wine and chatting with friends.
