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!
