DIY Stamped Clay Succulent Pots
We love these stamped clay pots. They are just perfect for the lovely succulents, and they are so fun to make. You will need oven-bake clay, clay roller, scallop edge cut from chipboard, and some clay shaping tools. Start by rolling the clay, cutting a long rectangle and the scallop edge on the clay rectangle. Follow the scallop edge on the clay rectangle and smooth the scalloped edges. Press the stamp onto the clay, then gently peel it off. Make a cylinder by wrapping the rectangle around a circle but from the clay. Join the edges together with the sharping tool. Make a hole on the bottom with a straw. Bake, and you are done!
