Hi I love your clay pot dog and wondered how you do the ears and tail?? What sort of adhesive do you use to make them securely fit together and last??
Kind Regards
Catherine
Hello, thanks for your comment. First of all, you can use different fabrics or suitable plastic pieces for the dog ears. You can also make ears by giving the shapes to plaster or cement. It is recommended to stick the ears with strong hot glue, especially if you plan to use them outdoors 🙂 Good luck!
How do you make the holes for legs? I don’t want to break the pot.
