Sheppey tessellation upcycled pot plant!
Equipment:
Milk bottle
3 shades of gray paint
Light pink paint
Tan paint
Brown paint
Small paint brush
Sandpaper
PVA glue
Pencil

Method:
Step 1: Cut an old milk bottle into a square shape.
Sand down the edges and surpluses so the paint sticks.
Step 2: Do two white coats of white paint for the base layer. Make sure
the first layer of white paint is dry before you go in with the
second layer of white paint.
Step 3: When all the white paint is dry, sketch squares that are
around 2 cm x 2cm on the bottle. On the front draw an oval face with
ears. Draw the eyes and mouth.
Step 4: Get the dark gray paint and paint around 15 squares with the
dark gray paint. When dry, do the 15 squares of the middle gray
and when dry do and 15 squares with the light gray paint.
Step 5: When the paint is all dry do a second coat of all the colours.
If it needs you can always go in with a third coat of paint.
Step 5: Mix brown, yellow and white paint to make the tan face paint
colour. Paint the face and ears. When dry, do another coat.
Step 6: Get a light pink and put little pink ovals in the ears.
Do another coat of the light pink paint.
Step 7: Get brown paint and paint on the face.
Do another coat on your face if needed.
Step 8: Lastly, get a succulent of your choice, ¨
I'm using a pink succulent. Plant In inside the milk bottle.
Now you have yourself an amazing recycled sheep pot plant!
For the last two weeks we have been working on up cycled pot plants. I made a sheep. My favourite part was the planting. My least favourite part was the face. Hope you enjoy!
