Fabric Pots 1 clay pot, any size Matching spray paint and fabric (floral looks good) Modge Podge Gesso Newspapers Thinner side of brown paper bag Pencil Fine black felt-tip pen Scissors Paintbrushes Paint the pots thoroughly with Gesso. Wait about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for it to dry. Carefully spray paint the entire inside and to just below the lip on the outside. Do not spray heavily. Spray with downward strokes. Don't drip. To make the pattern for your fabric on the brown paper bag, mark a little mark on the upper edge of your pot. Place the pot on its side on the bag. Start turning the pot, all the way tracing against the upper edge with a pencil. Line up the top of the pot with the line just drawn in its starting position, and mark another line on the bottom edge. Again turn the pot, tracing with a pencil, until you have gone around once and have come back around to the mark. Join the two lines to form a rainbow shape, and cut out the pattern. With a fine black pen, trace around the pattern on fabric, making sure your design on the fabric points upward. If you turn the pattern to look like a rainbow, the upper side is the top for these pots. Cut the fabric piece out with scissors. Layer a hard surface with 2 to 3 layers of newspaper. Here's where it gets very tricky. With the Modge Podge, little by little, bit by bit, glue the fabric onto the pot. When you finish with the Modge Podge, there should be material sticking up off the bottom. Cut that into 1-inch pieces (don't cut the fabric off the bottom). One by one, being careful not to get any wrinkles, glue the fringe into place. You may have to cut out the hole at the bottom with scissors when it dries.
