How to make a terra cotta pot carrot

1. Paint the terra cotta pot and saucer orange
2. Apply 2-3 more coats of paint to achieve the desired orange shade
3. Allow paint to dry (at least 20 minutes or so)
4. Place the saucer upside down on top of the terra cotta pot
5. Hot glue the greenery on top of the saucer. Use any greenery you like! It can be leaves or extra from whatever silk flowers you have around. It’ll all look cute:)
6. If you’re giving it as a gift, place the items inside the terra cotta pot and wrap it closed with the ribbon
