How to make the reindeer ornament:

1. Paint terra cotta pots on the outside and inside. Allow to dry completely. A second coat may be required. Clear the hole in the bottom of the terra cotta pot using a bamboo skewer or toothpick.

2. Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 6 inches long. Thread one end of the ribbon through the hoop end of a bell. Position the bell in the middle of the ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and knot the ribbon just above the bell and again about one inch above the first knot.

3. Thread the ends of the ribbon through the hole in the bottom of the terra cotta pot. Using tweezers may help pull the ribbons through the hole.

4. Once the ribbon is pulled all the way through the hole, add another knot close to the cut end of the ribbon to create a way to hang the ornament. Trim the ends of the ribbon to clean up any raveling pieces.

5. Decorate the ornament using tacky glue. Place a button for the nose and googly eyes.

6. For the antlers, fold two chenille stems in half. Crimp the chenille stems into thirds to create antlers. Push the loose ends of the chenille stems into the hold where the ribbon comes through.

7. On the inside, flatten the ends of the chenille stems so they will remain in place. The fit should be very tight. If not, use additional tacky glue to secure the antlers from the inside of the pot.
