DIY:  Mini Easter Pots

Picture
After finishing my sister's bridal shower favors, I had a handful of the mini ceramic pots as leftover.  With Easter around the corner, I thought why not use the extra pots and turn them into an Easter DIYer!  I combined the decor I used for my sister's shower favors with the Easter egg cutouts from my Easter Egg Hair Barrettes (see earlier post), and came up with this super cute gift!

Supplies:

1.  Mini Ceramic Pots -- (I purchased mine at the Dollar Store.  I ordered a bulk order from their online store, and each pot came to only $0.33 each!)
2.  Glitter -- (I used the gold glitter I had on hand, leftover from another project)
3.  Mod Podge
4.  Paintbrush
5.  Easter Egg Cut-Outs -- (My Easter egg fabric cut-outs were leftover from my hair barrette project -- see post below)
6.  Rhinestones
7.  Hot Glue Gun & Glue
8.  Any "Ground Cover" Foliage -- (I purchased these mini ground covers at Orchard Supply; 6 came in a pack for $4.99) 

Here's How:

1.  Using Mod Podge and my paintbrush, I painted the Mod Podge on the rim of the pot, making sure it had a nice thick coat to grab a lot of glitter.
2.  I rolled the Mod-Podged rim of the pot into the gold glitter (I used a paper towel, and just poured enough glitter to make a large loose glitter hump in the middle of the towel, then rolled the rim about 5-6x in the hump of loose glitter until the rim was all coated).
3.  Using my hot glue gun, I glued the fabric Easter egg cut-out below the rim.  Then, I hot-glued the rhinestone on the cut-out. 
4.  Lastly, I planted the ground cover into the pot. 

Happy Easter DIY-ing!
