Materials:

Terra-cotta flowerpot
Flat stones
Ceramic-tile adhesive
Ready-mixed sanded grout
Two bricks
Water
Bucket
Sponge
Rubber gloves
Trowel
Knife



Make sure the terra-cotta flowerpot is clean and free of cracks (the stones and grout will add a lot of weight to it). Place the flowerpot between two bricks to prevent it from rolling around.

"Butter" each stone with ceramic-tile adhesive, and apply stones to the side and rim of the flowerpot. Space them approximately 1/4" apart in a random pattern. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight.



Apply ready-mixed sanded grout to the spaces between the stones, using a trowel and working the grout into the spaces with your fingers. Wear rubber gloves for this part of the project. Scrape grout off the surface of the stones.



Add grout around the rim of the flowerpot, and smooth the edges.



Wipe excess grout off the stones with a wet sponge. Rinse the sponge, and wipe away the grout.

When I finished mine I added a little frog on the side (kind of like he was hanging on a rock). The other one I did I added a little dragon fly. Just some suggestions : )
