Let Freedom Ring! Had these flower pots on hand and well,...
I had these 3 flower pots,cleaned them up,bought red,white ,blue acrylic paint,and a star shaped mini cookie cutter that I used on a potato,I couldn't find a stamp that was inexpensive!! A decorative wire edged ribbon,twine and a wooden bead. Paint your pots in whatever design you like, my daughter helped also! Thread the twine through the smallest pot leave enough length, for bead clapper,knot under the bead,and knot a few times under bell so it doesn't slide down ,add second bell so first bell nestles inside just a little,again knot well,so bell doesn't slip down,and repeat for third bell. ( you can add beads large enough to the knot for more security) Now leave enough twine to hang,and embellish wit the ribbon,I don't know how to make fancy bows so I just made three and use flower wire to attach together! One of these days I'd like to make larger bells and use rope! Also,great for Christmas just different colors,maybe some Holly,or evergreens to top it!
