    I like this- It doesn't ruin the pots so they can be used later if you want to! Great idea- Wonder how he would look made out of the black plastic ones that flowers and garden veggies are purchased in? Hummm...

    It gets too expensive buying that many pots. We had directions for a dog and made one of them. Too much money

    OK I made two pot pals. They are, Pete Moss and Clay Potts. They are over 20 years old and looking pretty worn out these days. Maybe I'll have to reinvent them but they are quite a hit in my town.

    Look for old pots at garage sales and thrift stores . This should help keep the price down. You can also advertise for Free pots Craigslist or the Freecycle in your area.

    I L-O-V-E this idea!!!! One of my friends that my husband and I help out (she is chronically ill and cannot do her own yard work), has beautiful gardens and benches. She has a few "friends" already made of various other materials. Most of them are made from car parts that are welded together. But I think that this would be absolutely PERFECT for one or two of her benches either in the front yard or in one of the gardens in the side yard!!!! Just getting the pots will be the challenge. ...»
    Making the cute little buggers with her will be really fun!

    Someone on here said that they have a dog??? Do you have a picture of it? I would LOVE to be able to make a dog to go along with one of these guys!!!!

    Thanks so much for posting this Walter!!!!

    Just one question. Your "buddy" is a little different than the one in the instructions. The body is bigger. How do you keep the body connected?

    I believe I remember using hot glue when I originally made it.
