Cute little pots!
We started this project at a girls night out, not realizing the pots took 24 hours to dry! Oops No worries - just another excuse to get together. The package contains everything you need to make three little pots, including clay, plants, string and paints. We had fun coming up with different shapes for our pots and then decorating them with imprinted designs using different tools (like the end of a paintbrush, a fork or our hands). Once they were all formed, we let them dry for a day or two. We got back together a few days later to paint and hang out cute little plants. This is a fun and easy craft but it does require some time to complete.

Easy to use!
This craft is such a great idea for a fun get together. We held a super bowl / craft party. The crafts were for everyone who didn't want to watch the game. We created some fun imaginative planters and can't wait have another party!
This was an easy craft for any beginner. You create the shape by molding the air dry clay into whatever you want. After creating the desired mold, you can indent a pattern on it. Always remember to poke a hole for the string. We let the items dry on a plastic sheet so it wouldn't stick. The branches we collected from our outside mini hike.
My only comment would be to use less packaging and be more sustainable.

Inspiring!
I haven't worked with clay in 25 years, yet I was able to enjoy these planters like a professional, I felt. The kit comes with everything necessary, but leaves room for the free flow of creativity. For example, I decided to experiment with ways to color, or dye, my clay (using ingredients not included with this kit) before molding and sculpting - which was easy bc the air dry clay is white. A few sculpting tools, or even play-dough tools are useful to have on hand.

Senior Craft Party
I run a craft group for seniors. When they heard the word "Crayola" first thought coloring and felt it would be "childish." Upon seeing pictures of the DIY Hanging Planter Craft Kits, over half felt, it was too hard and they couldn't do it. I began to hope the Tuesday people showed up besides myself and a couple others. I had 11 show up to do the crafts. These are all the same people who felt they couldn't do it, the not only did it THEY ROCKED IT!!!!!!!!

Fun to Make and Nice Enough To Display
I hosted a mom’s night craft party with these and the ladies loved it. Doesn’t require a ton of skill or artistic vision, so it’s perfect for all levels of crafters. The material is very forgiving so you can really create something you’d want to display in your home. The fact that nice paints and all supplies are included is really nice for when you want to host several people. For the price, it’s a great value. I highly recommend these.

Great to do with teens/tweens
I tried to do this craft with friends but after you formed the planter(less than 15 min tops) you have to wait a day. Project over. I LOVED doing it with my daughters though. We had so much fun doing it together. I have a teenage daughter and a tween daughter on the autism spectrum and a kindergarten daughter on the autism spectrum. We roped their dad into our activity and we had a great time doing this as a family. I was smiling the whole time and loving the family time. My 15 year old could do everything herself. But again... after the pots were formed we had to wait at least a day to paint. It's okay but not great to want to put all that effort into finishing a craft later.
The pots can't get wet. I'm not really one for fake plants and these look pretty fake and real plants can't go in the pots. And the pots can't be displayed outside which would be a pretty good place for them.

Fun Group Project!
We had a lot of fun with this kit at our girls night. With that being said, nobody from the group made it as a hanging planter. The thin silver string in the kit looked nothing like the twine in the photo and that was a little disappointing so everyone just decided to make the planters to set on a shelf somewhere. Also, it would have been nice for there to be more explanation or examples of different types or shapes of planters to try. Overall, we made it fun and ended up with some cute projects.

Neat project!
The Crayola signature series craft kits are fantastic. They are perfect for teens and adults either as a gift or to have a party. I can see these kids being a lot of fun for a sleepover party. Because the succulent pots require 24 hours of drying time, you could make them at the start of the party and hopefully have them ready at the end. I brought my finished project to my grandmother at the nursing home where she stays. It is a great little decoration that does not require any watering to keep the faux succulents alive.
