I didn’t make this Santa and elves, but I did take the image while leaving a restaurant last year.
Also meant to take a picture of a similar terra cotta nutcracker I’d always see on walks, but you get the idea.
While I haven’t laid eyes on terra cotta snowmen, gingerbread men, reindeer or Christmas trees, I know you can make them too!
The truth: I’ve never made one of these. I’m a lazy admirer of the terra cotta arts. Yet, I’m also a lazy holiday decorator. It has something to do with having two cats who attack anything that can be broken.
If you’d like to tackle the terra cotta arts this year, here’s where you can go for inspiration and directions:
Terra Cotta Santa and Terra Cotta Snowman
Flower Pot Reindeer Bell Ornament
Before you get to work, make a pot of hot chocolate, and enjoy. Seriously, make hot chocolate, not hot cocoa. You’re celebrating the holidays, after all.
Bonus inspiration: Make non-holiday themed terra cotta projects to give as gifts. Look at what you can make:
Merry making of stuff.
