Summer is quickly approaching {in Texas, it feels like it’s been here for a while} and I’m getting excited about outdoor entertaining! This simple tiered organizer {made with terracotta pots} will sit center stage at our outdoor meals and parties this summer. Want to make one too? It couldn’t be easier!

tiered organizer made with terracotta pots

Start with a six inch terracotta pot and three four inch terracotta pots {you can find a variety of pot sizes at craft or garden stores}.

Using a glue gun or another adhesive, glue the three smaller pots together at the top edge along the point of contact.

For additional support, you may want to turn the pots over and add some additional glue to the underside.

Figure out where the three pots will sit on the larger pot then add glue to the top lip of the larger pot and set the three joined pots on top, making sure the three pots are centered. Again, you may want to turn it upside down to add additional glue.

When guests arrive, simply grab the organizer and you’ll have everything you need for mealtime. Plus, the tiered organizer won’t take up much space on the table, leaving lots of room for fresh summer fare and that pitcher of sweet tea that we like so much in the South!
