Creative with colour
The wooden tray and the largest Terracotta-pot are primed with chalky paint. The tray is primed with white or light colour, the Terracotta-pot has a first layer of dark colour.
After drying, a layer of Chalky Wax helps to remove the upper layer of paint with sandpaper after applying another layer of paint (light Blue on the tray, white on the pot) only . By carefully rubbing off the colour spots, the typical Chalky look is created.

Choose three small pots of different sizes and wrap them with natural bast, fix them with hot glue. A natural coloured string is pulled from above through the smallest Terracotta-pot and knotted under the bottom with a wooden bead. The same thread is now pulled through the next pot, also secured again with a wooden bead. It is also pulled through the third, largest Terracotta-pot, again secured with a wooden bead. Now the upper end of the thread can be tied to the tray handle and fixed with hot glue, it is a small pot-Etagere was created.
