Clay pot lighthouses - need help please...

20 years ago

I am looking for instructions on what size of pots to use for a lighthouse made of terra cotta clay pots stacked on top of each other. I have seen birdbath's made like this and that pattern would be okay too. I need it for decoration for our Bible School. If anyone has information on this craft I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

You can use whatever size and number of pots you want... just so they stack okay. Here are instructions from HGTV, and it looks like the same instructions from DIY Network site.

Both call them "birdfeeders" - just don't put the seeds in the bottom - LOL!

Your best bet is to just go to a store (garden, hardware, big box, crafts, etc.) and look at the various pots, decide how big you want your lighthouse, and try stacking some pots. Then either buy them or take the measurements. (You do carry a tape measure with you at all times, don't you?)
