- First I wrapped a slab of clay around a pipe pot and then I measured where they met, took the clay off, then trimmed. I then put it back on smoothed where the ends met. After, I trimmed the top and bottom and made another slab for the base. The features I added were lopsided eyes, square teeth with an under bite, and horns. I added these features because I wanted to make a cute monster, which I did, rather than a scary ugly monster. By making the pot big, it serves a purpose of a flower pot.
