Being Resourceful

I really like those place card holders from my last post, and I was wondering, could you make them for cheaper? So I started researching. Here is a mini flower pot from http://www.forever-bloom.com/site/619770/page/520187 that costs a dollar. It is 1" in height, and the top diameter is 1" as well. While this is still a little pricey, it might cost less than the ones I found from my last post... (I mean, $1 x 50 = $50! But better than $5 something x 50 or whatever!)

Or, this little pail from http://www.hotref.com/white-pail-favors-p-3966.html ... the price is a little confusing, though. It says: "List Price: $0.83 Sale: $0.74" but then at the bottom of the page it says: "Quatity discount 1-59: $1.49 Price, $1.37 Sale Price" and lists more quatities. Hmm... But check them out. It's a cute pail, nevertheless.

And so something like that, a mini pail or ceramic pot, combined with some dirt and sticks you find from a walk outside (free! Hehe)... And then the top... I'm not sure what this could be made of... A styrofoam ball covered with something?

OR you could make the sticks out of pretzels and make the whole thing a little edible favour... The top could be... hmm a timbit maybe? Haha. Or like a cheeseball or something? Or maybe even a rumball? And the pot/pail could be filled with something else... like, I don't know peanut butter or something.

Hmm... I think it's time to experiment... LOL!
