Once the clay pots are dry, apply black ribbon around the circumference, just above the rim with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Step Three

Measure a one-inch by one-inch square of gold glitter cardstock and cut out with scissors. Apply gold glitter buckle to the front of the hat with a glue gun and glue sticks.
