| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Black felt, square yard
Terra-cotta pot Permanent red marker Black poster board Carpet tape Yellow poster board | |
| Seasons: Thanksgiving | |
| Materials: felt | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Tape a square yard of black felt to your work surface and
set a terra-cotta pot (ours is 7 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches
across) on its side at one edge of the felt, as shown. Roll the
pot, tracing along the top and bottom edges with a permanent red
marker as you go, then cut out the felt arc. |
| 2. |  Next, cut two 15-inch circles, one from black poster board,
the other from the remaining black felt. Set the pot upside down
in the center of the poster board circle, trace around its rim,
then cut out the inner circle to create a large ring. Now trace
the rim of the pot in the center of the felt circle and cut an
asterisk in the center, as specified. |
| 3. |  Tape the felt circle atop the poster board ring. Set the
bottom of the pot on the asterisk and slide the brim up to the
rim of the pot. Attach strips of carpet tape to the outside of
the pot, then tape one end of the felt arc to the side and wrap
the arc around the pot, sticking it to the tape. |
| 4. | Trim away any excess felt. For the finishing touch, tape on
a buckle cut from yellow poster board.
