Ten on the Tenth...An Easter Basket for an Adult....

I am joining Ten on the Tenth again to share an Easter basket idea.


Last year I made this "Cocktail Garden " as a birthday gift for friends.: 


The cost was certainly more than $10, and would make a cute Easter basket, but I came up with another similar idea for under $10:

Purchase a clay pot for about $1.99

Paint a bunny face on the pot and fill with a large muffin, a plant or candy treats:


  I spray primed the pots white paint and then "sponged" acrylic paint over the whole pot, white over white for the base, and then 3 different colors on the rim.  The faces were painted with very thin brushes (but you could also use a sharpie).


These are a cute and inexpensive gift to make for under $10!

Imagine a "Santa" face for Christmas!!

Visit these other creative bloggers to see how they spent their $10:

    So very clever, and the inclusion of gift tag cocktails are especially great.

    Patti, I love this! So cute and what a great gift! I can definitely see this with a Santa face -- I would have to find a sticker or stencil, because I have no drawing skills at all...I mean at all! I screw up when I'm tracing! Hugs!

    Patti this is beyond adorable! You have mad painting skills. If I tried to paint such a face it would surely end up under "Pinterest Fails". LOL Maybe a stencil. :)

    You can never go wrong with tulips. Now if I could somehow replace my brown thumb for a green one, I'd do it! Cute idea.

    Fun idea! I like to hand deliver little treats to friends for spring, and this is a great idea. It can be filled with just about anything that friend might enjoy. Thanks!

    Awww, Patti, your rabbit pot has the cutest face!!! Great idea to reuse an old pot or to dress up a new for every holiday season! I love the sponging, too. I need to get busy crafting; it has been too long.

    Thanks for sharing for 10 on the 10th. Happy to be with you on this tour.
    Hugs,
    Barb :)
