1.  Take a regular flowerpot with some sort of flat protruding lip and paint the entire pot white.  Use any paint you like depending on where you are going to display the flowerpot. 2.  Paint the flat protruding lip of the flowerpot black and then cut out some small sponge squares and stamp this area with various colors as you like after the black paint has dried.  Be creative! 3.  Cut out some small squares of black felt to make a base for the eyes and to make the mouth.  Use tacky glue to glue the felt on. 4.  Take some orange felt and shape it into a cone for the nose.  Again use tacky glue to attach to the flowerpot. 5.  Take some googly eyes and glue onto the black felt.  Then take some snowflake-shaped stamps and make various colored snowflakes. 6.  Take some malleable wire and stick on some ivy leaves to make a small wreath above the flowerpot.  Again use tacky glue to attach the leaves to the flowerpot.  Then put a bow of any color on the wreath. 7.  Plant you favorite plant into the flowerpot and enjoy!
