Pot

My pot from Dollar store

Paint

1. Paint

I took the planter and a round metal sheet (Pizza pan) outside to spray paint them. I used a textured spray, and it gives it a nice faux fabric finish.

Paint the Planter

Once that layer dried, on to the next!

Inside of the Pot

No need to paint the inside of the planter.

Glue to Pot to the Pan

2. Glue to Pot to the Pan

I hot glued the pot to the pizza pan and also used some E6000 for a better grip.

Now it's time for some details. I used this really fun striped ribbon to go around the rim of the hat.

    If you don't have much room for decorations, you could probably use a small paper plate and paper cup for a miniature?
