Making your Christmas Pot.....
Mix together three parts PVA glue with one party water. Brush all over the flower pot and saucer and leave to dry. This helps to seal the pot and to give it a waterproof surface.
Paint the outside of the pot and its inner rim and the outside of the saucer in your chosen color. Leave to dry and then repeat.
Now paint the pot in your chosen design. For example you could put white snowflakes on a blue base or green Christmas trees on a red base. TIP: if you want to paint on horizontal bands, place the rubber band around the pot and use that as a marker for painting.
When you have finished painting and it is fully dry, paint the pot and saucer again with a mixture of PVA glue and water as you used in step 1.
Place a poinsettia in the pot and you have a special gift for someone.
