Easter

What is it about a mason jar? They just provide unlimited packaging ideas! I think the world would be a happier place if we used more mason jars and less plastic! This weekend we got a much needed moisture packed spring snow storm. And, instead of shoveling, I started to rummage around and found a stash of mason jars and an unopened package of grass… I mean moss (in Colorado you have to clarify).

I am putting together an Easter care package for our daughter in college and wanted to send her something that was easy to ship. I grabbed some loose moss leftover from my moss addiction and threw in some chocolate eggs into my mason jars. What completes the look is the grass that I affixed to the top of the mason jar lid. It’s Easter in a jar!

I think this is a cute packaging idea. You could add cookies or any other treat. Perfect for teachers, neighbors or my daughter and her roommate.

Everything looks better in a mason jar, right?

Spring Pots with Moss for Small Spaces

Moss is the new plastic shredded Easter grass!I love this stuff. I can add it to anything and it adds an organic texture and in some cases hides the dust!
I started with these pots I got in clearance at Walmart last fall. It was a bright raspberry color before I used primer (my camera’s flash was broken so it looks like it shades of gray.. they are white).

I stuffed some newspaper in the bottom of each pot and added the moss from The Dollar Store.

I added this mesh backed moss to the top of each pot and added a few earth tone eggs. This project is ideal for someone with not a lot of space, but wants to have the season and spirit of Easter in their decor.
