I was in Anthropolgie recently and saw these super cute animal planters and knew they would be the perfect addition to the animal themed nursery we are planning.
To make my own I used air-dry clay and acrylic paint and what I loved about this project is that you can make them as realistic or not as you like and they will look great either way. I chose to use small pots inside instead of planting directly in the planter, but if you decide to plant directly inside make sure you use the appropriate clay in order to fire them so that you can water the plants without damaging your beautiful planter.
