DIY Clay Pot Lighthouse

These Clay Plant Pot lighthouses have 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. I really love the black and white color combination and recently I saw this one done with black duct tape instead of paint, the tops were also covered with black tape. The top of the pot in the picture above is an Ikea lantern, but you could also use a solar light for your Clay Plant Pot lighthouse.

  2. 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.

  6. I bet you could add some oversized clay pot water catchers to create areas to put birdseed…

  10. 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.

  12. Just made one. Cane out good but a little crooked at the top. Very good instructions.
