Easy Leprechaun Hat Decor

Step 1

Lay out an old newspaper or a piece of scrap paper before you get started
Paint each pot green and let dry (terra cotta pots dry super quick).
Paint second coat if needed (I only needed one)

Step 2

Turn your pots upside down and draw a small line of glue all the way around above the rim of your pots and use the side of your foam paint brush to spread it evenly making about 1/4″ inch of glue
Sprinkle your glitter onto the glue over a plate or the garbage so it doesn’t make a mess

Step 3 – Form the Collar

Now cut off a 2″ piece from your pipe cleaner and form into squares
Carefully got glue your pipe cleaner squares into the black glitter strip and let your pots fully dry
