Terracotta Christmas Bells
2 x 3" Terracotta pots 3 large
Gold acrylic craft paint
Cord
Spray on varnish
Large Beads
Start by painting the pot in a base color. Suggested colors are Green , Red or Gold. Tie a knot in one end of some cord. Thread on one bead then tie a second knot about 1 inch higher then the first bead.
Thread the cord through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. The beads should hang on the Inside of the bell , one being the bell clanger the other stopping the cord from going through the hole.
Once it is threaded through tie on a third bead to hide the drainage hole from the top view.
Cut the cord to a desired hanging length. Tie a loop for the hanger.
Your may want to try two of these hanging together to form a traditional two bell look.
These bells make great decorations for large function rooms as they are cheap to make and effective.

Cute idea! I would paint two mini pots (the kind as tall as your pinky), paint them both gold, dip in gold glitter, and tie together with a red or green bow. Sounds like a neat party favor or christmas ornament!! :)
