The school year is wrapping up and I don’t know about you, but this time of year I like to think of ways that we can show our teachers how much we appreciate all of the work that they put into the school year. Now since I’m a crafter at heart I love to make a little something, but I also know that teachers love to get gift cards so today I’m showing you a little of both. These DIY Apple Terracotta Pots are adorable teacher gifts and perfect

Aren’t they just the cutest? And they meet my craft criteria – fun, functional and can be done in an afternoon. Because who really has time for super involved crafts? We like to keep it cute and simple around here. So let’s get into how you TOO can make these cute little pots!

 Here’s what you’ll need:

• Terracotta pot and corresponding lid
• Acrylic paint in red and brown
• Paint brush
• Glue gun &hot glue
• Wooden knobs
• Faux leaves

And the steps:

1. Paint your terracotta pots and lids with your red acrylic paint. You might have to paint a few layers (allowing them to dry in between) to get the coverage you’re looking for.
2. While your pots are drying, paint your small wooden knobs with brown acrylic paint and let dry.
3. Once lids, pots, and knobs are dry, you’ll want to glue a faux leaf to the bottom of the wooden knob.
4. Then you’re going to glue the wooden knob in the middle of the “bottom” of the lid. For this craft, we’ll be inverting the terracotta lids to act as actual jar lids.
5. Once the glue is dry, add your lid to the pot and there you have it, a DIY Apple Terracotta Pot!

It may sound like a lot, but trust me, once you get into the groove you’ll whip these DIY Apple Terracotta Pots out in no time!

They’re perfectly adorable for your favorite teachers! Fill them with gift cards, sweet treats – even notes from your kiddos! I’m sure teachers would love to receive one of these this year – what do you think? I’d love to know if you give them a try!
