& Stick
Make end tables and
planter pedestals,

by stacking containers
and saucers in creative
com binations.
DESIGNING
Sketch out possible
com binations, o r play
with pots you already
have on hand, to find
a design you like. O nce
you have the necessary
pieces, assem ble them
w ithout gluing to make
sure the result is what
you envisioned.
GLUING
Use craft adhesive (we
used E6000) to attach
pieces. Run a solid bead
on each surface to be
glued,
below,
assemble,
then let the assembly
dry according to
directions. A spray coat
of clay pot sealer will
help the terra-cotta
resist weathering 1®
