It amazes me how many food and drink products I use on a daily basis that have lids on them. I have found ways to use them in craft projects, but they also make a great little dish for those little gluing or mod-podge moments. I save all my caps and lids now in a ziploc bag and use them on a regular basis.
Here is an inexpensive craft for Mother's Day easy enough for pre-schoolers to do.
Materials:
lid from laundry detergent bottle
stickers or pictures of flowers
bow
hot glue and glue gun
potting soil
small house plant
Directions:
Decorate your lid with stickers or pictures.
Hot glue the bow on (parents can do this step).
Fill it up with potting soil and put your plant in. I used a spider plant. They always have babies that you can use to start new plants.
We did this in church for Mother's Day this year. The kids enjoyed decorating the planters for their mothers and it's a gift that mom can enjoy all year.
