Grass Seed (fast growing if you have it)
a stapler
a roll of string and some wire
*freshly picked herb sprigs,
*flower heads (orchids, lilies, or others)

Steps:

Take empty milk cartons, cut down to 4-5" high.

Cover the basket with construction paper and decorate.

Fill around 2/3 full with potting soil. Then generously sprinkle grass and some weed seeds.

Have it watered daily. Grass should grow in about 4-7 days.

With the remaining cartons, cut a handle out and staple it to the basket.
