Quickie plant pot tutorial

  1. Make pattern, or resize this one for your needs. S.A. means seam allowance, in this case about 1/2" to overlap.

  2. Trace onto cardstock or lightweight cardboard. Add S. A. Two layers make a stiffer pot. This is a single layer of construction paper, which will be too flimsy to use, but it shows the method.

  3. Cut out, roll, and glue S.A. Hold with clip while glue dries.

  4. Put lots of glue on bottom (narrow end) and place on scrap of paper.

  5. Weight and wait while glue dries.

  6. Trim off excess base. Paint or cover with paper clay or maybe punched paper shapes.
    Add a plant. Take a blurry picture.

You can use a variety of plastic caps for plant pots, not just glue stick caps; toothpaste caps are especially nice for small pots in 1:12 scale.
