Directions:

Step 1

Coat the pots with gray and let them dry completely, then paint the rim with navy blue, and let them dry completely. Dab hot glue around the top of the rim, then adhere jute rope around and cut the excess off, and repeat this step with the rest of the pots. Paint the small saucer white, then set it aside, and let it dry. Using black paint, draw a small door on the large pot, then draw small windows at the center of the medium and small pot, and let them dry completely. Lay the large saucer upside down, then cover it with some mod podge, and pour sand all over until completely covered.

Step 2

Tie jute twine around the bottom of the solar light and seal it with hot glue, then cut the excess, and set it aside. Grab the fairy lights, then insert them through the hole at the bottom of each pot all the way to the very top pot, and pull it down the side. Adhere the small saucer to the top pot placing it right side up using E6000 and hot glue, then adhere the solar light at the very top, and gather the excess fairy lights inside. Put the lid of the light back on, then gently lift the pots, and carefully place them on top of the large dish with the sand as shown in the video.
