How to Make a DIY Lighthouse with Solar Light from Terracotta Clay Planter Pots

Charming and easy to make lighthouses from tall to small.

Terra Cotta Clay Pot Lighthouse
All you'll need to make your clay pot lighthouse are different sized clay pots, paint, and any decorations of your choice. Glue the clay pots together, should they not nest securely enough. Choose different clay pots and saucer sizes to make a smaller or larger lighthouse.

You can see from the pictures that some of the lighthouses have a saucer on top. If you're planning to place your clay pot lighthouse in the yard, add a Solar Light. Depending on the solar light you find, you might have to customize it a bit for your clay lighthouse and cut off the stem. You could also place a candle lantern on top of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse with the blue lantern on top comes from Thrifty Fun, for the other clay pot lighthouses the original source is no longer available.
