Peat Pots Aren't Just For Seeds Anymore!

Well, I hope everyone in blogland is doing well. I wanted to share with all of ya'll what I did at "Gal-Pal's Craft Night Out" last week.  My friend, Wanda, at http://shopjustvintage.com said that we should do a peat pot craft.  I don't know about ya'll, but the word "peat pot" sounds just a little disgusting.  I then said "a what pot?"  Then she explained what peat pots were, & that they are typically used to start seedlings.  So, I started looking at different magazines, & I found lots of cute peat pot ideas!

I tore pages from an old encyclopedia & used Modge Podge to adhere pieces to the pot.  I found this great bird image on Graphic Fairy's blog.  Added a old earring for some "bling"!

   I tucked some green moss into the pot.  Feathers, light green lace & an egg were the final touches.  I just love it!  It is "perched" among all of my nest collection.  







 

 

              I added some egg images on the back courtesy of Graphic Fairy.

 

The next peat pot is my favorite, since I am often referred to as "Queen Bee!"  I glued brown silk ribbon to the rim of the pot & attached odd jewelry from earrings & cuff links.  I chose to keep the natural pot & added the bee images from Graphic Fairy.








I filled the pot with brown moss, shredded hymnal paper & a wasp nest

The back of the pot has a picture of a hive with bees.  I used distress ink to make the image look old.  The Cranky Queen is "happy" with her new creation!
