Dolly Pots - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Hello!

Dolly Pots

This was super fun for my 8 yr old. You can use all sorts of old toys.

Material

A old plastic/rubber toy ( or buy a cheap one from $2 shop )
Spray paint Colour of your choice
Spray on sealer (Clear) ... Adult use
Stanly knife *adult use
Blutac / Putty (Non toxic) ... Can use kids non toxic blutac

Method

Carefully cut a round opening at the top of the doll's head
*if you would like to protect any part ie' eyes ect cover the area with blutac
Spray paint the doll in a well ventalated area and allow to dry
Seal with the sealing spray and allow to dry
Fill and cracks and joints on the inside with blutac or putty, if the opening is large enough I seal the neck joint completely.
Allow 24 hrs to set
Fill the opening with potting mix & plant the succulent positioning to look like hair and enjoy watching your Dolly Pots head grow :)

I just love these Dolly Pots, what a great idea. I might replace some of my large round glass pots I have around the house with these dolly pots.

Usually anything doll related freaks me out but I think these give me more of a Buddha vibe so look pretty cool not sure I’d make for my own home though

Not sure these are for me, the gold ones look quite scarey, possibly nightmare material
