Flowering Pots

I was feeling a little crafty this Christmas season and decided to make some "Flowering Pots" that the boys could give to their teacher's.  I was able to get all of the items I needed at Walmart and the best part was everything was so inexpensive!  Each gift cost me less than $2.00 to make.  In the Christmas section at Walmart I found these super cute, miniature size buckets.  I bought a brick of floral foam and cut it down to fit the entire inside of the bucket.  Using a hot glue gun, I secured the foam to the bottom and then glued enough peat moss down to hide the foam.  Each bucket took about 18 tootsie pops to fill.  After everything was done, I created a little card saying, "Merry Christmas", glued it to a skewer stick and stuck it in the middle.  Who knows if the teacher's liked them, but they sure looked cute when all was said and done!  :-)
