This adorable frog is easy to make, uses inexpensive supplies, and can be completed in a short amount of time. I chose to go with a traditional green, but you can paint your frog light green, dark green, or any shade of green that you like. You can also add other embellishments, like green glitter, if you want to make your frog look extra special!

So, let’s get hopping (pun intended) and make this cute flower pot frog!

Supplies Needed To Make Flower Pot Frog

• Clay pots (one large and two mini)
• Clay saucer (fits on top of large clay pot)
• Outdoor paint in green, black, red, and white (my favorite for clay pots is Patio Paint)
• Green foam sheet
• Outdoor adhesive that works with porous surfaces
• Scissors

Step 1: Glue Mini Pots To Saucer

Start by using your adhesive to glue the mini pots to the bottom of the saucer as shown below. Allow to cure according to the package directions.

Step 2: Paint All Your Pots Green

Then, paint everything green. I painted both the inside and outside because I was using this frog craft as a candy dish. This will take several coats. Keep applying according to the package directions until you get the look you desire.

Step 3: Add Eyes & Tongue

Add eyes to the back of the mini clay pots with white and black Patio Paint. Also, add a tongue to the front of the large clay pot with red and black Patio Paint.

Allow everything to dry completely.

Step 4: Cut Out Frog’s Feet

Use scissors to cut “feet” from the green foam sheet. I traced around my clay pot so that the feet would sit under the entire thing, as shown below.

Step 5: Glue Frog’s Feet To Bottom Of Pot

Use adhesive to secure your feet to the bottom of the pot and allow to dry. Your frog craft is now ready for use! I added candy to my version but you can use yours wherever you desire.

Clay pots are so inexpensive and versatile. They may possibly be the perfect crafting tool!

Try this frog craft for your home this summer. Add him to your garden as decor or your kitchen counter to hold candy. Either way, you are sure to love this quick and easy way of painting clay pots!

FAQs About Flower Pot Frog

Here are a few common questions that I often see readers asking about making this flower pot frog. If you have a question, please check if I’ve already addressed it below. If you don’t see your question listed, please leave it in the comments!

Can I Adjust The Size Of This Flower Pot Frog?

Yes, you can! However, just remember that if you adjust the size of the main flower pot (the frog’s body), you will need two smaller pots (for the frog’s eyes) that will fit with the size you have chosen.

Can I Use Green Spray Paint?

Absolutely! If you use green spray paint, make sure you spray everything in a well-ventilated area.

Can I Use Paint Pens For This Flower Pot Frog?

Yes, when adding the eyes and tongue, you can use paint pens. However, I would still paint the frog’s body with Patio Paint.

Can I Use Hot Glue For This Project?

I would not recommend using hot glue for this project because you want it to be sturdy and to be able to last outside (if you choose to put it outside). Due to that, I would recommend using an outdoor adhesive or an industrial-strength glue.
