3. The “Clay Pot” Lighthouse

This is a fun, architectural project that adds height to your flower beds. It uses graduated terra cotta pots to create a coastal-themed lighthouse with a solar “beacon” at the top.

  • Materials: Three different-sized terra cotta pots, outdoor paint, solar stake light.
  • Steps:
    • Paint the pots in classic lighthouse colors (red/white or blue/white).
    • Stack them upside down from largest to smallest.
    • Glue the pots together and place the solar light in the top drainage hole.
