It does look very time consuming. Yep, I think just a potted pine cone would be cute also. My cats would dig in the dirt and knock it over though. :-) I would think that some type of artificial filler would work though and cover it with Spanish moss or some other type grassy material. Maybe some glitter spray on the pine cone for Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-24397736254657255262009-01-21T18:43:00.000-06:002009-01-21T18:43:00.000-06:00I think it might be nice to just turn it back arou...I think it might be nice to just turn it back around leave it as a pot! Still glue the pine cone on. Just kind of a new look for the pot! You could just fill it back up with soil and it might be kind of cute. <BR/>I think it wouldn't take too long to glue those on a pot this size. But, then again, I am the queen of ridiculously tedious projects, so I am probably not a great judge of such Lindsey Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385174250013182722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-39357902994032120542009-01-18T16:39:00.000-06:002009-01-18T16:39:00.000-06:00Deb, if you enjoy crafting, give it a try!
