Method
- From the string, cut 2 shorter pieces for the arms and 2 much longer for the legs.
- Put the pieces of string through the hole in the wooden balls and fasten them by making a thick knot at one end (or several knots on top of each other).
- Now the smaller pot gets a face. For this, cut a piece of jute and glue it to the small pot.
- Place the plant in the smaller pot. It represents the hair.

- Glue the eyes to the jute that represents the face.
- Glue the arms (shorter pieces of string) to the top of the large pot.
- Glue the small pot onto the large one.
- Cut two circles of jute and glue them on the «little belly».
- Tie a piece of string around the «neck» and make a nice bow.
- Draw the nose and mouth on the face with the pencil.
- Finally, glue the legs together with the feet to the big pot.

Tip
Depending on which plant you use for the hair, the clay man gets a completely different look. In other words, why not make several guys,
each with different hair (different plants). Looks funny!
