Terracotta pots are basic pots that are relatively inexpensive.
This is somewhat due to the pots not being painted or decorated.

How to make this Clay Pot Sombrero Craft DIY
Step One:prepare the pots and saucers.
Wipe down the pots and saucers removing any dirt or anything attached to them.
If you have used liquid such as water, allow the pot and saucer to fully dry before painting.
Prepare your work area for painting the pots.
Step Two: paint the pots and saucer.
Turn the pots upside and paint them. You do not need to paint the inside or the rim of the pots for this project.
Then paint the insides and the rims of the saucers.
Allow the paint to fully dry and then repeat.
Note the that rim of my clay pots has been painted with a blue paint for contrast.
Feel free to paint yours yellow or whatever color using acrylic paint.
Step Three: decorate the sombreros.
Start by decorating the pot pot by glueing the rickrak over the blue band.
Then my pot has a pompom glued over the drain hole.
For the saucer, my hat has the pom pom fringe glued on.
You can glue the pot to the saucer or leave them separated for easy storage.
