Make Peat Pot Gift Cups at our next Saturdays in the Farmhouse Kitchen event on March 20.

Ann Marie Craig • Mar 05, 2021

I'm excited to share how to make these cute little gift cups. Join in the fun!

A few years ago I posted a little Hands-On Makerie project for our Sunday Project: Peat Pot Gift Cups.

Fast forward almost two years and pick Saturday instead of Sunday, and we're going to revisit that endeavor; and YOU can now participate in the fun of making these from your own home. Invite a friend! Have cupcakes!

Welcome to March's Saturdays in the Farmhouse Kitchen event! Let's get together and make some cute, inexpensive, unique little treat cups that can hold anything from a pretty flower plant for Grandma's garden to Easter eggs for the little ones. Use them as gifts or as party favors, or anything your little heart desires!

Since I have already written a tutorial about the peat pots, you can find more info in this blog post. Check it out!

Don't forget to sign up below to join in the fun in our Farmhouse Kitchen on Saturday, March 20 at 10AM CST (Chicago time).

We'll gather via Zoom again, which means you can be with us from anywhere in the world! There is a small fee this time too, but where else can you have an hour of fun and learn a new craft, perfect for springtime celebration favors and gifts?

Sign me up now!
