Make Clay Pot Leprechaun Hats |

Here is another fun craft idea using clay flower pots and turning them into something decorative & playful. Since it's St. Patrick's Day today we thought we would show you how to make a Leprechaun Hat. We saw this easy idea at thatswhatchesaid.net
Purchase small clay flowerpots. Of course you can get them from us or any craft store. Paint them with an acrylic green paint. It may take 3 coats to get them covered because you want a bold bright green.
Wrap a black ribbon towards the bottom of the clay flowerpot. Since the pot is not a true cylinder, you will have to adjust in the back to the ribbon to sit properly in the front. Use a hot glue gun to secure the ribbon in place.
Next use an Xacto knife to cut out the buckle. Use gold card stock and hot clue in place. Now we know it's hard to believe but that is it. Think of all the fun things you can do with these hats. Place one at each place at the dinner table. Stack the pots on a living room fireplace mantle and decorate with clover. Place them around the house and put a gold candy coin under each one and use them like a treasure hunt.
The whole idea is to have fun and be creative. |

| We saw this cute idea and wanted to share it with our flowerpot craft group this time of year. It's a fun and decorative way to display your potted poinsettia plants available at most garden centers. And, if you have some little ones hanging around the house this will surly make them smile.

Supplies:
2 terracotta flower pots with saucers
Red & Black Patio Paint from DecoArt
Sponge Brushes
1.5" Black Ribbon
Gold glittery self adhesive foam sheet
White batting
Glue Gun
Scissors
|
 |
Directions:
Paint the terracotta flower pots red and the saucers black, let dry.
Cut 1" strip of white batting and glue to the bottom of each pot. You can substitute cotton balls or pom poms if necessary.
Glue the length of ribbon that fits all the way around the two pots when next to each other, adding an extra 8" of overlap. Cut a square shape from the gold glitter foam sheet, with a smaller square in the center for the belt buckle. Attach to the front.
Use outdoors for holiday decor, or inside as a centerpiece. Either way these are wonderful.
