Christmas Bell with flower clay pot

This project started being run by Maureen Bovet in the last 1980's. She got the idea from a friend who gave her one. Maureen loves flowers and landscaping so this project was perfect for her to run. Her quote is: "Pretty simple but with a gardenesque theme which is why I liked it."

Materials:
*Small clay pots, the smallest you can find 1 to 2 inches
*Pipe cleaners, the sparkly the better
*Bells - small with a part on top to put pipe cleaner through

Assembly:
1. Put the pipe cleaner through the top of the bell and put it in the middle of the pipe cleaner
2. Fold the two ends of the pipe cleaner together and twist a few times so the bell will ring easier
3. Then thread those two ends of the pipe cleaners through the bottom hole of the clay pot, from the inside of the pot
4. Twist the pipe cleaners to create a loop for hanging. The pot hangs upside down as a bell
5. The pot can be decorated with stickers
