Race Car Garden Art

This project is just too fun not to make!

Glue two 4" pots together to make the body of the race car driver.

Glue two fairy size pots to the 1.5 inch pots to make the hands on the arms.

Glue the 1.5 inch pots to the 4 inch pots to make the general shape of the race car driver. PS: painters tape came in handy to help hold things in place while the glue dried.

Glue 4 saucers to the 8 inch pots to make the race car wheels.

Glue a fairy size pot to the top of the car, then glue a 4 inch saucer at an angle on top of that - creating the steering wheel.

I found some little buckets which I glued on as headlights. Use whatever you have or more terra cotta pots!

Glue another saucer upside down behind the steering wheel, on the body of the car. This will hold the race car driver in place. Glue the race car driver to the saucer behind the steering wheel.

Grab a chunk of grass or pot some flowers in his head for added fun! Don't forget to glue on some googly eyes, some landscape fabric for a mouth and add whatever else you'd like - like a poofy nose and a pipe cleaner scarf!

Make it your own - decorate how you wish. I'm leaving mine plain, but you can certainly paint the pots different colors or add race car number or whatever you wish!
