Clay bird houses look beautiful and serve as a feeding place or as a home for birds
For animals
birdhouse
You probably still have old clay vases that are a bit out of fashion and therefore lead a dreary existence in the attic.
- Seal the opening.
- Carefully drill a hole about three quarters below the top rim.
- Hang the vases on a cord in a sheltered place.
In addition to this variant, there is of course the well-known method of building a birdhouse. To do this, use conventional clay pots that you can paint as you wish. The latter variant is more suitable if you are doing handicrafts with your children.
Alternatively, hang a fat ball (€9.99) in a clay pot and let it hang from a branch.
For plants
Decorated planter
Does your clay pot seem a bit dreary and clunky? With colorful mosaic stones, you can transform the planter into an eye-catcher. You can give your planter a face with pieces you have made yourself. How about a funny cat, for example? Of course you can still plant your clay pot.
Small hamlet
Paint windows and doors on small clay pots, decorate them with roofs and chimneys and sprinkle a small gravel path system in your bed. Make a small town this way. Maybe one or the other ladybug will move in.
To relax
lanterns
You can get clay for little money at the craft store. If you are not yet very familiar with the subject, small lanterns are a good place to start. Simply form small cups and provide them with a hole. Then put a tea light inside.
wind chimes
If you are a little more experienced, you can make small tubes with different diameters. You attach it to a clay plate with a string, hang it on a tree and let the wind play music.
