I have never seen this pattern but it sounds simple enough. I would guess that you would take the saucer and glue the small wooden balls or pegs to the bottom of the saucer and then glue one of the pots rightside up onto the other side of the saucer. Then take your other pot and glue it upside down on top of the other pot, making like a tube of sorts. Then paint it yellow and add some brownish thin lines going around it all the way to the bottom, to look like the lines around a beehive. Maybe even paint a black circle at the bottom to look like the little entry way for the bee's. I would use just a glue gun for this project. And to make it even cuter, most pots have a hole at the bottom and in this case there would be a hole in the top of your beehive. I would make little bee's out of pipe cleaners and then attach them to some light weight wire and then glue the wire on the inside of the hole in the top. That would look like little bee's flying around your beehive. For the bee's, I would buy thin black and yellow pipe cleaners and some little black fuzzy balls. ( you should be able to find these in the same place as the pipe cleaners.) And then cut small peices of both and then make a loop's with them. Kinda like you would with a twist tie. And then keep gluing them to each other till you had a black and yellow stiped body. Then glue a little black ball on one end to make a head. I would just use 2 more pipe cleaners bent to a semi circle to look like wings glued to side of the bee's body to make the bee's wings. Then either glue or wind the wire around the bee's and glue the wire in the hole on top of the beehive. Good Luck with your beehive.

I have seen a book like that at Micheal's Craft and Hobby Store. There is a whole book specifically designed for the little tiny clay pots. It tells you step-by-step on how and what you will need to do that and a lot of other projects with the clay pots. I live in GA and that is the store that we have down here but, I'm sure that any hobby and craft store will have something like that.

Well hopefully you're wrong because I have a Stafford loan! But I think if you have enough grants, scholarships and maybe some benefits (my Dad's a veteran so I get some money for that), students can get smaller, manageable loans that they realistically can pay off as long as they start paying it off immediately after landing a good job. That's what I did now I just have to hope the Economy gets better in time for me to get a good job right out of College. The real problem that causes student debt is credit cards. They encourage students to splurge and give them a false sense of economic freedom. Student loans at least do what they're supposed to do, they let you go to College even if you don't have much money and give you the opportunity to get a good job. They're not all bad.
