Have a fiesta and celebrate Mexican culture with this fun Cinco de Mayo Terra Cotta Pot Sombrero.
I love Mexican restaurants. From yummy tacos, brightly colored piñatas and decorations, margarita specials and a big colorful sombrero, you can be certain my family and I are eating Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo. While nibbling on chips and salsa, and sipping margaritas, sometimes I wonder what it’s actually like to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico.
If you’re going to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo this year, make sure you add a few fun decorations to your home. This easy to make sombrero is a perfect addition to the Mexican celebration.
