Decorated Flowerpot

Using acrylic paints, decorate a clay paint pot. Butterflies, plants, or polka dots are nice, simple decorations. If you will be adding a plant to the flowerpot, a painting of that plant is a nice touch.
Let it dry completely.

To give as a present you could fill the plant pot with potting soil and plant the seed of a fast-growing flower (like marigolds) or put in a small plant (herbs like chives are a nice choice).

Wrap with cellophane, and tie with a pretty bow.

Paper Baskets

These Paper Baskets are easy for kids to make, and fun to fill with treats that kids love.

Paper Baskets are great for any time of the year. Use a different shape to make baskets for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day or Easter. Be sure to pick colors of paper that will fit the theme of your baskets (eg. red hearts, yellow chicken, green shamrocks).
