Step 4: Put on the plastic gloves and spread the plaster mixture generously over the outside of the terracotta pot using the spatula to create a deliberately rough, textured surface. Step 5: Gently press the glass stones and beads into the plaster. Be careful not to get any mixture on the outer surfaces. Leave the plaster to harden. You can remove any plaster residue with liquid citric acid from a che
