Step one
Seal the inside and outside of the terracotta pots with one coat of Resene Terracotta Sealer and leave to dry for six hours.
Step two
Glue the bases of the two pots together, as shown, and leave for the glue to dry.
Step three
Paint the top pot with two coats of Resene Pirate and the bottom pot with two coats of Resene Niagara. Allow two hours for each coat to dry.

Once dry, paint a collar, stripes and centre of the eye with Resene Endeavour. Paint dots on the ties with Resene Pirate. Allow to dry for two hours.
