You will need:
Step One I wanted my terra cotta pot to have an aged look so, I started off by mixing a little white craft paint with water and brushed it on all over until I had the desired look. Step 2 Cut the floral foam to a size that fits snugly into the plant pot then use a little bit of hot glue to secure it. Just be careful not to make it too hot as it will melt the foam.
Step 3
Now firmly push the stick into the artificial boxwood ball. Then push the stick into the floral foam, making sure to place it in the center.
Step 4
Squeeze hot glue on top of the floral foam around the stick base then layer your rocks over.
Step 5
It's time to mix up the "dirt". I used a popsicle stick to stir together the sand, Mod Podge, and black paint. I didn't use exact measurements, but it was about equal parts except for the paint which you don't need that much of. I went with a consistency that was goopy, but not too runny. It was able to fall off of the popsicle stick though.
Step 6
Scoop the "dirt" onto the rocks in the plant pot with the popsicle stick. Cover the entire base and let dry for a moment.
Step 7
Use the toothpick to scratch up the dirt a little. This gives it a more realistic look. Waiting for it to dry slightly ensures that it will not smooth back out. Allow the dirt to dry for a day.
