OT: Question for all you crafty folks!

I am making cookie bouquets for christmas for some families and I was putting them in like a clay pot. They are going to be on sticks and have the holiday shapes. I am already using the hard foam type stuff to make the sticks stay upright in the pot, but I am having a hard time thinking about what to cover that stuff up with. I thought about trying to do fake dirt stuff (Which I have no idea what to use, so ideas are welcomed) or anything else that is thrown out there. So... please, tell me your thoughts!

well just to go along with the cookie theme you could use crushed oreo's they look like dirt and it is edable too. cover the foam stuff with saran wrap and put the crushed oreo's on top

Just an idea

I used to help out a place that did cookie bouquets... I believe they just used papers and ribbons to cover. They have a website here... you can kinda see a basic arrangement... but most of what they did were custom orders so it's really hard to see everything they did: http://www.sweetarrangements.biz/cookie.asp

That's a good idea. It kind of got my wheels turning in my head! I need all the help I can get!

you could go to dollar tree they have long things of garland that looks like red and green ivy or they also carry long garlands that look like pine tree branches. (Hope that makes sense)

cool, thanks everyone. I'm trying to decide if I am going to make a "dirt" and how to keep it even in the pot, or if I am going to do a the fake grass looking stuff.

hershey's kisses, silver wrapped ones, might look festive

crushed chocolate wafers of oreos and then you can put a few gummy worms in also

I like the hershey kiss idea! How cute would that be? I have to transport these safely on a four hour car ride, so I think that would also be one of the more plausible ideas too! Double bonus! :happy:

Thank you so much!
