You will need:

9" x 4 1/2" tall terra-cotta pot

gold paint

velvet

1/2" x 3/8" flat gold braid

3/8" wide gold cording

What to do:

1. Paint the terra-cotta pot gold.

2. Cut 7 (3 1/8" long) panels of velvet,

tapering slightly so that the top width is

2 1/4" and bottom width is 1 3/8".

3. Space evenly and hot glue panels of

velvet to the pot, starting just under the

rim and finishing on the bottom side of

the pot.

4. Cut 14 (3 1/8" long) length of 1/2"

wide gold braid and glue on either side

of each velvet strip, covering raw edges

of fabric.

5. Cut a 28 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip of velvet

and glue around the rim, covering the

bottom edge of the rim and turning

fabric over the top of the rim.

6. Cut 2 (28 1/2" long) lengths of 3/8"

wide flat gold braid to cover the top and

bottom of the rim and glue into place.

7. Cut the gold cording into two pieces,

a 36" length and 41 " length. Tie the

cords together at both ends.

Keep the shorter length on the top taut so

the longer length hangs below in the shallow

arc. Divide into three equal sections and knot

the cords together at divisions. Hot glue the

cords into place with the knotted ends meeting

at the back.
