Etsy Feature – DIY Face Planter Pottery Template

Quirky, fun, and full of personality—this DIY Face Planter Pottery Template is the kind of project that makes everyone smile. Planters are already a favorite for potters because they’re so versatile, but when you add a playful face into the mix? You’ve got a conversation starter, a gift idea, and a cheerful addition to your home all in one.
What It Is
This template guides you step-by-step in slab-building a face-shaped planter. You’ll get the form sorted out easily, leaving all the creativity in the decorating stage—think glasses, freckles, funny noses, bright lips, or even exaggerated cartoon features. It’s essentially a blank canvas with character built right in.
Why It’s Fun and Functional
- Customizable: Each planter can be as unique as the person making it—no two faces will ever be the same.
- Beginner-Friendly: Templates take away the guesswork, letting you focus on the fun.
- Gift-Worthy: Perfect as a handmade present for plant lovers or anyone who loves whimsical décor.
- Practical: A planter you’ll actually use, not just display.
Creative Ideas for Your Planter
- Add bright glazes to create bold personalities.
- Use matte neutrals for a more modern, sculptural look.
- Give each face a “hairstyle” with trailing plants like string of pearls, ferns, or succulents.
- Try a family set—different faces for different family members or moods.
Why You’ll Love This Project
This planter template is more than just pottery—it’s playful art. The finished piece brings life and laughter into any space, and because you can customize it endlessly, it’s the kind of project you’ll want to make again and again.
You can find it here: DIY Face Planter Pottery Template on Etsy.
This post is part of my Etsy Feature series, where I highlight clay templates, tools, and creative projects that make pottery fun, approachable, and full of charm. This one is especially delightful because it gives you permission to play and be silly with your clay.

Hi Heather,
My blog, Artventuring, explores my work in mixed media, including polymer clay. I’m a proud member of PCAGOE, and a regular reader of many of your blogroll blogs. I’d be honored to be included among them.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hi Heather,
Here’s my blog. I’m a polymer clay artist in Canada and founder of the Vancouver Polymer Clay Guild. My next project is building a new house so my blog is about both claying & house-building. “Demo” has a different meaning for me right now as we’re in the process of watching our old house being demolished this week.
Hope you have time to check in.

Hi Heather, I have a polymer clay blog — in fact, I just linked to a shell cane tutorial of yours last week. I’d love to be added to your blogroll.
