Instructions for the Dollar Tree Ornaments

1. Decorate the flower pot

For the first flower pot I used a permanent marker and drew criss cross lines to represent a cone. I left the second flower pot plain but you could decorate that one however you want.

I painted the top rim with Folk Art Pink paint and created a few "drips" running down the side of the cone. I let the flower pot dry.

I love how both of these turned out. I had all of the paint on hand, so my total to make each of these ornaments was about $1! I also think they would make great gifts anytime of the year, not just for the holidays.

For my other matching shaker - I attached the string through the holes, added some Epsom salt to the bottom of the shaker, placed 3 mini pine cone ornaments into the jar on top of the Epsom salt. I hot glued a little twine around the lid, and topped it with a mini pine cone on the lid.

Put the lid on and you're done! If you want you can make a tag that attaches to it with the items to find. If you use a jar, you can write the items on a sticker and place it on the lid of the items to find.

Those little pots and bulbs that you made are adorable. I’m going to try to do them, although not very crafty. Doesn’t matter if I mess up because they are just for me and my entertainment.
Thanks, Marie
