Easy DIY Sheep Planter

 

This is an easy fun activity for kids.

For this we require:

 1. Old planter (Small)

2. Fevicryl Mouldit

3. Glue (I have used Fevicryl fabric glue because it is thicker)

4. Paint ( I have used Chalk Paint)

5. Brush for painting

6. Some clay modeling tools (optional)

So, first we need to clean the old planter and make the outer surface smooth.

Then take the Fevicryl mouldit and mix together the two separate packs to form a uniform dough. Do check the instructions given on the box regarding the process. Just take 2 packs at a time as it tends to harden quickly.

Take this dough and spread it evenly on the surface of the planter like this,

I have used the normal clay roller to even out the surface and give it a glossy texture.

Roll out an oval shape and stick it on one side to make the tail.

Then take another oval piece, slightly bigger and paste it on the opposite side to make the face. Also roll 3 small thinner pieces to make the hair on top of the head.

Make 2 small circles and stick them as eyes. Also make 2 leaf shaped ears and stick them on the side of the head. Make the nose by pinching two holes below the eyes.

Now roll out thin strands to make the wool and stick them on the body using the glue.

Let's colour it now. 

My daughter wanted to colour it purple and highlighted the eyes with white and black.

And the beautiful sheep planter is ready!

Chalk paint can be used on different surfaces like clay and wood. It is available online on Amazon.
