All items were purchased for under $30, this makes a great gift or addition to the garden.
Items needed:
6 Total Terra Cotta Pots
*2-8” pots. For the body we are using two 8.25” pots from home depot, these pots are a little bit shorter than traditional pots, this gives the minion a more compact look.
*4-3” pots for the arms and legs we are using four 3” pots from Amazon. These pots give our minion the right dimensions. You could substitute for 4” pots if desired. amzn.to/3oHcoWl
Rope: 6’ of rope. Make sure that the rope is thick enough that it will fit through the holes in the pot and won’t slip out when a knot is tied. Ours is from Home Depot at it was $.60 total

Stencil: - We have a free stencil for different size pots or if you want, you can draw the minion freehand. Stencil Downloads:
Brushes: You can use any kind of brushes you want, however we found that a variety pack worked best for us, because of the different pot dimensions and detail work. We used a 20 brush pack from Amazon amzn.to/3oGsboa
Pencil: For tracing our stencil
Tape: For securing the stencil to the pot.
Polyurethane: If your minion is going to be outside it would be a good idea to use a protective coating of some sort, this will help to preserve the color and defend against water and uv rays. We have found that a spray polyurethane is the easiest to apply just spray it on, wait for it to dry then you’re ready to go. Amazon: amzn.to/3mJ2RvW
