This time, I’ll introduce two methods to make a candy pot! Let’s start with the simpler one!

【Easy Version】The first method involves flipping the flower pot upside down and attaching it to the jar with a glue gun. Add an antique object on top to finish! ♡

【Regular Version】The next method is one that many brides have attempted and succeeded at! ♡ Start by making a hole in the flower pot with an awl, then push the door knob through it.*

After that, just attach the upside-down flower pot and jar with a glue gun! ♡

There’s the task of making a hole with the awl, but when you actually try it, it’s quite easy! ♩ Don’t forget to watch the video too!
