Watermelons are like a symbol of summer. During the hot days of summer, it is common for people to eat slices of watermelon. Because watermelons are so popular during the summer, painting watermelons on your clay pots is a perfect idea. This adds a little color to your flower pots so that they look nicer on your porch. All you need is a terra cotta pot, paintbrushes, and the following paint colors: Pink, light green, dark green, and black. Begin by painting the entire pot pink. You’ll need a thick brush for this. Let it dry. Continue by painting the rim of the terra cotta pot dark green. Once again, let it dry before you continue. Use a small amount of light green paint to paint the rim of the pot. This will make it look like the outside of a watermelon. Finish your clay pot by painting on the black seeds.

While clay pot candle holders are fun to make, you can also use clay pots to make the candles themselves. This idea can also be used with other items, such as a jelly jar, seashell, and even a lemon skin. To do this, close the drainage hole with a penny. Next, place the wick in the pot, and then tie it to a twig. Set the twig on the pot. The twig is what will keep the wick in place. Melt the wax and pour it into the candle. Let the wax cool until it hardens. Cut the wick down to about 1/4 inch. Enjoy your new clay pot candle!
