Materials

Free Uncle Sam Hat Clay Pot Pattern
3.5 inch Clay Flowerpot
4.5 inch Clay Flowerpot Saucer
Acrylic Craft Paint in Red, White, and Blue (I used DecoArt Americana in Country Red, Snow and Sapphire)
Silver Glitter Craft Foam (or Silver Glitter Star Stickers)
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks or Craft Glue
Paintbrush
Scissors

Instructions

Step 1
Paint a clay pot white, both inside and outside. Allow to dry.

If needed, add a second layer of white paint.

Step 2

Paint the clay pot saucer with blue acrylic craft paint. Allow to dry.

If needed, add a second layer of blue paint.

Step 3

Using a small flat paintbrush, paint vertical red stripes around the clay pot and on the inside at the top of the terra cotta pot.

If needed, add a second layer of red paint on the stripes.

Next, paint a one-inch-wide blue horizontal stripe at the base of the clay pot.

If needed, add a second layer of blue paint.

Step 4
Download, print and cut out the Uncle Sam Clay Pot pattern. Trace the star pattern onto the back of the silver glitter craft foam five times.

Cut out the stars.

Alternatively, you can use large star stickers.

Step 5

Glue the silver glitter foam stars to the blue band of the clay pot Uncle Sam hat. Have the tips of the star points touching each other, or at least close to each other.

You can glue the Uncle Sam hat to the terra cotta saucer base if you would like. Or you can keep the two pieces separate.
