The metallic looking pot is made of leftover 'anaglypta' paper that I used in the stairwell. I made two hexagons for the base and then made a one inch wide strip, marked into six sides, with tabs for gluing along the bottom edge and a small piece to fold over on the top edge to get rid of the cut paper look. I then creased and folded it, stuck the tabs on top of one of the hexagons, taking care to make sure everything was neatly edge to edge. I then glued the second hexagon inside at the bottom of the pot to cover the tabs.
I painted it with green paint and then gold acrylic paint while it was still wet so I could get an aged looking copper pot. I didn't want it to be bright gold. I think it is OK but maybe it needs some more leaves added? As I said I will be leaving it for a while and, somewhere further down the line if I don't buy better ones, I will look at all these plants again and see if I can improve on them or just make them again with more precision.
