Easter Bonnet Hanging Baskets
Look at the good junk I got from the Dollar Store! Check out what I did with those large eggs….I turned them into a Mossy Egg Door Decor as an alternative to a wreath, they look great! OK, let’s get cr-eggtive with those children’s hats I got for a buck.
I made four little slits in the top of the hat to push the ribbon through. The I pulled it up through a plastic plant pot and laid the ribbon over the sides. You could choose to do this with out the pots and just put the soil directly into the hat but I did it this way to maintain the shape so the weight of the soil didn’t make the hat sag.
These are just Dollar Store hats, so I wasn’t concerned about lining them etc. This is a short term, quick and dirty project. And since they won’t get stretched out, they’ll probably be reusable for next year…..now that’s a good bang for your buck! Time to pot these bonnets up.
Add a handful of potting soil to the pot and a selection of three spring annuals. Tulips, Daffodils, pansies and primula were used in these hats.
The plastic Easter eggs have a little hole at the end that I just stuck a skewer through to add as picks in my arrangements.
To finish it off I added moss to hide the pot and that’s it! Now that’s an Easter Bonnet! Have a Hoppy Day!
