~ Decorating Peat Pots for Spring and Easter

Looking for some fun ideas for Easter decorating? 

How about making some pretty peat pots?!

Peat pots can be found in the garden section of the big box stores, nurseries and even ol' Big Lots and Target.  They can be dressed up or left more rustic, whichever way appeals to you. My choice was to

 combine a bit of rustic with a touch of elegance. Since they are so inexpensive you can make several for yourself, and as gifts. You will find dozens of ways to use them from setting the table, to making little gift baskets or using them to display some of your other decorations like the painted and embellished eggs.

The first one is left rustic and lovely

just the way it came without any paint. 

I added some vintage laces and trim

and a vintage rhinestone pin.

Items Used Above:

• Peat Pot - Unpainted

 For the one above, I painted it with Annie Sloan Paris Grey Chalk Paint. 

You can use any paint that you like. 

Items Used Above:

• Peat Pot - Painted Paris Grey (ASCP)
• Vintage Lace and Trim
• Paper Leaping Bunny - Grey/Gray
• White Coffee Filter Ruffle
• Craft Sphagnum Moss
• Burlap Twine

I used this paint because the color was exactly what I wanted.

You can mix up any color you like with bottled or tube acrylics.

You could paint and decorate a batch of these in an afternoon, 

and they would be so pretty for your Easter decorating. 

Perfect for a little cookie or  treat, or a gift certificate. 

Or a chocolate bunny of course!

There are so many great ideas for you to try with these little peat pots. These also can be made into the sweetest little baskets if you just punch a hole in each side and add some wire for a handle. I hope you think of many more uses, too!
