Plant REAL grass for your Easter table

Plant REAL grass for your Easter table


REAL Easter Grass
Real grass is a super cute way to display your colored Easter eggs! 
I didnt have a low rectangle pot so I grabbed a box out of the garage.  Then I decorated it with paper and mod podge.   I used a leftover bag of grass seed from the garage and some potting soil.
Here is what youll need to make it like I did:
a box (or a pot)
2 large garbage bags
paper
mod podge
ribbon, ric-rac, or whatever embellishment you want to use
grass seed
potting soil or vermiculite

Cut the paper to fit the outsides of your box.
Mod-podge them on.  I needed to use 2 kinds of paper on the long sides.



If you want to put a saying onto your box you can do it with paper, chipboard letters, or vinyl.  My paper pack came with these cute letters so we spelled out SPRING and backed it with a couple of the papers.
Once the mod podge is dry sand the edges and hot glue ric-rac on.  If you want to really protect your paper  add a coat or two of mod podge on top as well.



































Take the box outside and double line it with garbage bags.  Fill it with soil, sprinkle a thick layer of seed, then put another thin layer of soil on top of the seed.



































Trim the edges of your bags down and then roll the edges into the box holding down with a tiny bit of soil where needed.

Now all thats left to do is wait for it to grow!
HAPPY 1st DAY OF SPRING and
HAPPY PLANTING!!
