DIY Mini Terracotta Pot Doorbell

DIY Mini Terracotta Pot Doorbell

You Will Need:
Mini Terracotta Pots
Clay or Wooden Beads
Cotton Rope
Needle & Thread

Firstly, I got my mini terracotta pots here. But check your local craft stores (or nursery) for similar items! Start by threading half a dozen beads onto a thread. Then, push a length of cotton rope through the hole in one of the terracotta pots, and tie a knot on the inside. Tie the length of beads onto this knot and pull the cotton rope tight.

Do this for another two pots. Lay out your three pots and braid the excess rope until you reach the end (or, however long you need it to be). Tie a knot in the end and hang your new doorbell from a hook or bracket.

You could put these terracotta pot doorbells at your front door or loop them around a door handle, so they ‘ding’ when someone walks in the door. They almost remind me of the Indian-style bell garlands that are also great as decor.
