A VERY Belated Easter Decoration

Easter is a really hard holiday to decorate for.  I'm not a fan of pastels, and fat little bunnies.  I like lanky hares. ;)  Plus, I think it's kinda sad that most people don't decorate for the real meaning of the holiday. 

I went in search of decoration to remember the holiday for it's real reason... And I found the perfect thing...

A mini resurrection garden

So here is a, pretty much, step by step on how to make it...

Needed supplies:

-A small terracotta pot

-A large terracotta bottom

-Glue gun

-Potting soil

-Gravel

-Grass seed

-And 1 rock large enough to be "the stone"

All you will need the glue gun for is to make a spot of glue to hold your pot in place while you pack dirt and gravel around it.

Also, put a small amount of gravel in the glue spot so the pot opening faces up slightly. 

Just pack the dirt in a mound over the top of the pot, so it slightly resembles a hill.  

Note:  The soil might be a packed down from making the hill.  I used a fork to loosen up the soil a bit before adding the grass seed.

Follow the instructions of the grass seed and sprinkle them around the hill.

Now your done!

To water this DO NOT pour water onto it.  It will fall apart.  Water it with a spray bottle until the grass is well established.  Then you could pour the water on it, if you like. 

I started mine way too late. On Easter Sunday there still wasn't even any grass showing. :/  It still doesn't look as pretty as the inspiration photo, but I thought I better get it up here before April was over.   

Warning, there is a few bald patches on mine that are just barely popping up. Forgive it.  It will look better next year. :)  

I somehow want to include the Scripture 

"He is not here.  For He is Risen." -Matthew 28:6

I will get to that once my Resurrection Garden looks a bit better.  I also opted not to add the stick crosses. 

I spent so much time reading the last few months that I haven't made any crafts.  It feels good to create something again!
