Paint your pots (optional step)!
Use a paint + primer. Three coats, inside and out. Light coats - make sure to spray from different angles to ensure proper coverage.
Cut the thread off of a bell. Cut a 30 inch length of hemp. Pull the hemp through the top of the bell.
Make a knot an inch above the bell.
Pull both ends of the hemp through the hole on the bottom of the terracotta pot.
Cut a piece of fleece approximately 10" x 3".
Tie the fleece around the hemp cords. Trim ends of fleece.
Cut three or four pieces of wire garland, four or five inches long. Twist together.
Twist the wire garland around the hemp (above the fleece). Scrunch and bend it so that the ends of the wires point UP!
Put the pendant around ONE strand of hemp.
Place two small bells on a jump ring. Place the belled jump ring above the pendant.
Use a paint marker to draw snowflakes on the pot - this marker worked on painted pots, too!
