How to Make It:

1. Fill the bottom half of your pot with crumpled paper
2. Fill the top half of your pot with air-dry clay
3. Push your dowel rod into the foam ball to make a hole and remove.
4. Push your dowel rod down into the air-dry clay so it goes into the paper a bit.
5. Cover the top of the clay with moss or excelsior (glue down if needed)
6. Decorate your foam ball with feathers and pompoms. Use a toothpick to make holes to stick the feathers into if you need. Don’t cover the hole you made!
7. Put a little glue on the top of the dowel rod
8. Put your foam ball on top of the dowel rod (you should have a handy hole to use)
