Why do I have so many peat pots? Honestly, I don't know...
I just had to have them last year...for some reason that escapes me now.
Apparently there was something magically inspiring in the pizza Hot
Pocket I had for breakfast and all at once I had chapter 326 of
The Lazy Girl's Guide To Crafting From Your Couch...a "green"
chapter entitled:
Using The Crap You Forgot About Last Year...This Year!
So, from my vast and varied collection, I choose the smallest potsand gave them a quick coat if white paint. {my little Soul Surfer
ballerina is just along for the ride}
back of each image with glue and adhered to the pot...no coating of
Mod Podge, no shiny, no nothing.
Then I got to accessorize!
is...I'm sure I'll find it next year! ;}
to add a wire handle...or even glue one on...very cute!
the table...each with a personalized egg!
I have a feeling my supply of peat pots is going to dwindle precipitously!

ReplyDeleteHow creative to use peat pots for Easter decorations.
ReplyDeleteoh..these are sweet! VERY sweet! i have a stack of peat pots....i'm off to get my paint...
ReplyDelete"Using The Crap You Forgot About Last Year...This Year!" Ha! That cracked me up. These are so pretty. I think I need to locate me some peat pots. I'm seeing some monogrammed office storage with them. I see some textiles in one of them...come link them up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle and some pretty,
Jami
The peat pots are lovely! ::Jill
ReplyDeleteYou always bring a smile to my face! Peat Pots ... who knew?!!!! They are wonderful little Easter/Spring baskets.
ReplyDeletethose are adorable!! what a great use of something you have, too!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for the peat pots, they look lovely after their transformation.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking along the same line as you for their use, small table gifts containing sweets at Easter.
Just the nudge I needed to get a new idea. I did gourds last Easter with fabric and wanted something new. Hope you don't mind if I borrow your idea. I just have little plastic potting pots but they will do. Blessing from this Holy Week.

Those peat pots are adorable ~ now where did mine go that I had to have last year? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese turned out so pretty! I wouldn't have thought to paint them, but they look so cottagey now. I'm doing something similar for my Easter table {the place setting thing} except I don't have peat pots, I've been keeping and washing out my single serving rice containers to make little baskets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea. They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day

Decorating peat pots is one of my newest favorite crafts. They are so fun and once you get started, the ideas just keep rolling in! Yours are adorable and I love that you filled one with little shells. If you get a chance I featured my first ones on a blog post a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteI just got home from buying peat pots just for this!! LOL
ReplyDeleteEvery year I give my Easter guests a little plant to take home with them. This year I'm on a very tight budget. So instead of buying individual plants I bought 6 packs. After I paint and a graphic to the peat pots I'll transplant the 6ers into their own pots.
Great minds!!
*hugs*deb
These are adorable!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, to paint them. Now that is really using your head!! Thank you so much for sharing this idea. Gotta go pick up some peat pots!! ;0)
ReplyDeleteVery fun idea, I see endless
ReplyDeletepossibilities here.
Have a great week!
What a great project. They all look lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo Cute!

ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm doing too...the whole 'using all the crap I forgot about last year'. I put as much stuff behind glass as I can and then I still forget it. I mean...I forget to even look at it! That's how old I'm getting.
sending hugs...
