Hallmark Designer Melissa Powlas loves to do small-scale crafts out of easy-to-find, kid-friendly materials. Today, she’s teaching us how to make clay pinch pots.
Tiny pinch pots are easy to create and make a fun gift for Mother’s Day. This is a great project for kids and adults to do together.
Using a small ball of Crayola Air-Dry Clay, poke a hole in the middle with your thumb and shape into a little pot or dish. Once the clay is dry, which takes about 24 hours, lightly sand it to smooth out any rough spots. Decorate your pot using acrylic paints and/or permanent markers. Finish it off with a coat of matte or gloss medium.
These little pots are the perfect home for air plants and small jewelry. It’s fun to line a bunch of them up on a shelf or put them in a little rope hanger to display. My favorite thing about pinch pots are all the little imperfections and quirks that give them so much personality and charm.
