What We Did:
We wanted to try to raise a bit of money for Haiti in their time of need, so we created little Valentine's Day flower pots to sell. We painted some aluminum cans and tied a strip of scrap fabric around each and then hot glued small painted cardboard hearts onto the fabric. We drilled some dain holes in the bottom and planted a spring flower in each. The signs are just painted cardboard cutout hears taped to bbq skewers. We set the flower pots up for donation before and after church.How Long it Took:
This one took a while. With the help of my sister and her pre-teen kids our family managed the whole thing in about 3-4 hrs.
How Much it Cost:
$4 for the flowers. We raised $38 for Haiti :)
Would We Do It Again?
We would. We all felt good about creating something beautiful together and raising some money for people in need.
Next Time:I'd make location arrangements earlier and give advanced notice to the buying audience. I think this would be a fun idea for Easter and plant wheatgrass. Maybe try to set up next to a Farmer's Market?
