It’s always nice to see different design, I like people that want to create something entirely different from the norm. Most clay plant pots I’ve seen are just plain with little to no designs on them, this is very different. The designs on the flower vases are quite artistic and I love them.

I’ve done something similar to this just not on a flower vases. The designs on the flower vase are very easy even though it look hard. If you’re making three vases then it’ll be nice to give them different designs just like what you have here.

When you can something that’s so good that people start to think it was made by a professional, you know you’ve done something perfect. This is a modern style vase design so you don’t need to worry about trend, this would be perfect for a modern space.

Getting the shape right might be the only issue but if you know how to do that, then you’re good to go. This is a very popular vase shape, you’ve probably seen this shape a lot so it’s nothing new. The small line paintings at the bottom is not a must but I’ll like to recreate it too.

Before I really got into making crafts, I used to be scared of starting. I’d see people make big plant pot, animals, and many things. Now I make these things with ease and I also teach others to do the same. I’ve sold some and used some to decorate my home. These crafts are not that difficult.

Plant pots or flower vases are one of my favorites because they’re very easy for me. I’m very good with making shapes so it’s no surprise that they’re actually that easy. These plant pots are easier than you think. You can use white clay then paint them or you can use that particular clay color from the start.

These might be the easiest design here, I don’t think you’ll need up to 30 minutes to recreate these. Designs that are easy to create are always my best ones. I like making crafts but if the design look too stressful, it just pisses me off. This is a nice vintage candle holder you’ll enjoy creating.

Most clay crafts require additional items that’ll help you get the shapes right. These candle holders will literally be done by just your fingers, you might also need a round object to perfect the stand but that’s not needed for me because I’m quite skilled in that area.

Simple crafts tend to hold the most value, I’ve made a lot of big clay crafts but the small ones tend to be more useful to me. This is not a craft you’ll spend hours perfecting, yet it look very artistic. I once made a photo holder as a birthday gift for someone and they loved it.

You’re going to have fun recreating this photo holder as it looks very easy. I like to have kids around whenever I’m making easy crafts so that they can partake and also make something for themselves. This is the kind of crafts you call your kids to partake in because they’re easy.

While most people use clay crafts as a way to beautify their home, others see them as in a different way. You can use these crafts for storing many things. I recently saw a cactus clay crafts and the owner used it as a ring storage.

These fruit crafts are perfect and can also be used as a storage option for rings and small chains. This is the perfect crafts for your nightstand. I like that you can make them in different colors.

I love a big craft and I’m definitely taking note of this particular one. Big crafts are the easiest for me because I’m very good with shapes of object. This clay kettle has a similar shape as a cup so it’ll be very easy to get the design perfectly without spoiling the shape.

This should probably be placed in your garden as it’s too big to be placed on the nightstand. Place this with other plant pots and your visitors will not believe that you’ve made this craft. This is a craft that’s supposed to carry a lot of sand so I’ll suggest you add a good amount of clay.

Plant pots are the most common things when it comes to craft and I can see why, you should have seen a lot of pant pots here and they all have different sizes and patterns. You can make five plant pots with different colors and sizes, I have similar setting in my book shelf.

This particular pot has its own size and pattern that’s different from the ones you’ve seen. This looks like a professional craft but don’t be afraid to try them, they’re just as easy as the other plant pots on here. This one has a very easy design which can be made with pencils.

How would you like to create a frame yourself? I’ve done a clay frame before but this one look even better than mine. I’ll try to create this pattern but I’ll use brighter colors instead of the blue one used here. It’ll be best to use colors that’s similar with your room decor.
