How to Make Mickey & Minnie Terra Cotta Bell Ornaments
- Start by making your bow for the Minnie ornament by tying your red ribbon into a small bow about 1 inch across. Set aside.

- Thread a bell onto a small amount of string then thread the ends through the center of the pot, through the hole in the bottom of the pot. Tie the ends of the thread onto the ornament hanger. Hot glue the string in place on the inside of the pot. Repeat with the second pot.
- Paint the non-taped end of each pot red. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Remove the tape then paint the remaining portion of two pots black. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Cut off about ⅛-inch of each of the black craft foam circles on one side, making a flat place.
- Hot glue one of the black craft foam ear shapes to each side of each painted pot in the black painted portion of the pot.
