This has been around for quite some time, but I wasn’t able to find any step by step instructions so far.
Luckily – this link on eHow is pretty detailed. And the steps are easy to follow. Perfect Spring craft for using some old disused pots.

would like to add a water feature to the project
I love this. I’m a US Coast Guard Vet so I’m going to make a 4′ version to mount my mailbox painted in a coasy guard cutter scheme with the racing stripe.
It’s also the symbol of my church so I’ll make one for our inner court meditation / prayer garden.
Same here. 🙂 78-82. I was an Airedale tho so no time in Lighthouses
I love this will try to make one
This is super neat. Thanks for the great tutorial.
This is great for a Girl Scout craft project.
I bet you could add some oversized clay pot water catchers to create areas to put birdseed…
I love this website. I’d like to add it to my wall. There are so many different craft ideas.
I’ve bought all the pots, glue, paint, but what is used for the top of the lighthouse?
I’d have painted them before gluing, then you could spray each piece.
easier.
I would like to try this and then use the glow paint to put on the white areas. So that when you have them where the most sun is it will glow a long time at night.
I have just finished the lighthouse and I’m really pleased with it. Thank you for the idea.
Just made one. Cane out good but a little crooked at the top. Very good instructions.
