Terra Cotta Light Fixture

For all of you out in the garden wondering "what am I going to do with all of these terra cotta pots?".

 

Caption reads: Patio lights made from flower pots require one standard pot and one azalea pot each. Carefully break out the bottom of the pot used for the lower section. Enlarge surfaces for joining together by filling pot rims. Using a carbide-pointed bit, drill hles in the sides of the pots. Notch the sides of the drainage hole in the top pot to receive loops of chain. Weave waterproof electrical wire into the chain and work it through the notched hole. Turn the chain at right angles to notches of pot to secure. Plug the light into an outdoor electric socket. Use a low-wattage bulb.
