An Easy, Inexpensive, and Festive Thanksgiving Decoration

Once again, I am reposting a perfect Thanksgiving craft.  I've got mine on my front porch, welcoming guests.

I was flipping through the Lowe's Creative Ideas catalog for November/December 2010.  I found the cutest Pilgrim Planter. http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/WAGI_Pilgrim_Planter_1110.aspx I, of course, made some changes to what they did to make it my own.  I painted my clay pot, very lightly, with black paint.  I used black grosgrain ribbon, instead of black duct tape.  They didn't have the gold washers at our Lowes.  I took a silver one, scratched it up with sandpaper, and lightly painted it gold.  I planted pansies in my pot.  I do like their flower arrangement better.  It's easy and adorable.  It's very versatile. You could get little pots and use them as place holders.  You could arrange multiple pots together for a fantastic arrangement.  So cute!
