You can make these clay pot toy soldiers in a variety of sizes but just changing up the size of the flower pots, wood ball and wood candle cups. You can make them smaller than this one or quiet large, that's totally up to you! All of these supplies can picked up anywhere general crafting goods are sold.
3" Clay Pot
1 1/2" Clay Pot (2)
1" Wood Ball
1 1/2" Wood Candle Cup
E6000 Glue Adhesive
Acrylic Paint: Red, Black, Flesh, Pink, Brown and Yellow
Paint Brush, Water and Paper Towels
Gold Metallic Cord (if you want to hang them)
Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer
Lay down newspaper. Paint each piece as shown in the photos with their base color. Let dry for an hour and then paint the smaller details on top. Let dry for another hour.
If you plan on using them for Christmas tree ornaments...add the metallic gold cord. Just a warning, they will need to be placed on bigger & sturdy tree branches. Otherwise, they look cute sitting on shelves, your fireplace mantle, window sills, etc.

These are so cute and I can't wait till my grandsons are old enough to make them with my supervision. I think they would be too heavy for our tree unless one old find pots implanting rath than clay
