Ingredients
Scale
- 2-inch miniature clay pots
- Wide paint brush, regular or foam
- Small round stipple foam brushes, Q-tips, or regular small brushes
- ¼ inch fabric ribbon (about 10 inches per ornament
- Acrylic paints – green plus assorted other colors (see post notes)
- 1-inch wooden stars
- Glue Gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Paint palette
- Mod Podge – optional
Instructions
- Assemble your supplies. Cover the work area with paper or a drop cloth to protect it from paint spills.
- Paint the entire outer surface of the clay pot with a coat of green paint. Let it dry.
- Using the other colors, paint small dots on your clay pot “tree”, to represented ornaments. Let the paint dry.
- Optional step – If you would like to, paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the entire outer surface of your painted and dried clay pot ornament.
- Cut an approximately 10-inch length of ribbon. Thread the two ends through the hole in the top of the clay pot. Tie the two ends into a large knot, to keep the ribbon from slipping back through the hole. (May need to make two knots)
- Place a dot of hot glue onto one side of the wooden star. Press the glued side of the star onto the ribbon, just at the top of the pot.
