INSIDE: How to make Christmas gift tags or Christmas tree ornaments using mini clay flower pots. Great Christmas kids craft idea.

Years ago, I made a springtime flower pot wreath. Which I absolutely love. But I totally over-ordered on the mini terra cotta flower pots. Seven years later, I still have this box of mini clay flower pots. ????

So when the kids were chomping at the bit to paint something, I grabbed a handful of these flower pots and let the kids go to town giving them color. Turns out, these mini clay pots not only make cute Christmas tree ornaments but are a fun way to jazz up Christmas presents.

Give these mini clay flower pots a coat (or three) of acrylic paint.

With the outside dry, add some festive holiday details like a snowman face, Santa’s belt or some colorful Christmas tree baubles.

Once totally dry, and an optional coat of spray clear coat is applied, cut a long strand of grosgrain ribbon.

Depending on how these will be used, insert the ribbon through the hole in the pot and knot.

If using as a Christmas tree ornament, ribbon loop will be at top with the ties underside.

If using as a Christmas gift tag decoration, ribbon loop will be underside with the tie at the top (shown above).
