Sand and Seashell Covered Terra Cotta Pots
After an afternoon at the beach with my Grandloves, I came home inspired by the beach sand to create some Nautical-Inspired Sand-Covered Terra Cotta Post to help add some "Summer" decor to my home.
I took three Dollar Store Terra Cotta Pots, some Elmers Glue and Sand...and along with my little Craft Helpers, we created three pots in just a few minutes.
You can use any size or shape pot. If you don't have access to beach sand, you can purchase small bags at Michael's for about $2.29/bag.
Using the Elmer's Glue and a sponge brush, I applied the glue onto the pot - working in small areas.

I would think that using Elmer's Glue to adhere the sand to the porous terra cotta pots wouldn't work over the long run being the glue is water soluble. Once the pot is moist it would loosen the glue and it would pull away even if there is a coating over the sand. Just saying...

They have held up fine. I still use them in my guest bath.
