Butterfly Peat Pot

Did you like the Easter Tree?  Here are the details on the Butterfly Peat pots.  These are SO easy!!

This is a larger pot and could easily be used as a centerpiece filled with Easter Grass and candy.  I used the glue gun to attach the Striped ribbon to the inside rim of the peat pot.  Lay down a bead of hot glue about 2 inches long, then fold over attach, fold over again and repeat for the gathered effect.  This ribbon is retired, but I know most of my followers have some......and in many colors!!  :)  Any wide ribbon could be substituted or our Tea for 2 fabric strips work great and have been featured on previous Peat pot posts.

I used the Tangerine Tango ribbon from the Sale-a-bration Ribbon and Button bundle on the bottom of the pot.  I used a glue dot about every 3 inches to attach the ribbon to the bottom.  The Butterflies were punched from scraps if 2011-2013 In Color Designer paper with the Elegant Butterfly punch or cut and embossed with the Butterfly embosslit in coordinating solid card stock.  Brights brads were poked thru each Butterfly, then the peat pot.  Spread the Brad prongs and the Butterfly is secure.  Smaller Butterflies were added with a glue dot. 

The Butterfly on top was cut from Roof Flashing using the Beautiful Butterfly Bigz die.  Embossed with the Chevron embossing folder and held together with In Color Printed Brads. 

The smaller peat pot has 3 embosslit Tangerine Tango Butterflies and Ruffled Ribbon.  These would make great "Place Pots".  A tag or label could be added to each pot with your guests name!  Or use them as cute gift holders filled with candy, lotions, nail polish, garden seed packets, the options are unlimited!
