Attract customers to your refreshment stand with delicious cookies attractively displayed in polka-dot flowerpots. DIY Kids host Kent Lindsey and the DIY Kids show you how to create quick-selling treats. Materials:
5"-tall clay flowerpot
Clean moss from a craft store
4" x 2" block of florist foam
12" bamboo sticks, available at a grocery store
Refrigerated cookie dough, any flavor
Kitchen knife
Cookie sheet for baking
Plastic cellophane wrap
Colorful pipe cleaners
Colorful round office labels
Two colors of acrylic paint
Sponge brushes
- Soak one end of the bamboo sticks in water for 1 minute (figure A). This keeps them from burning in the oven. Arrange the sticks on a cookie sheet approximately 2" apart, or far enough apart so the cookies won't run into each other as they bake (figure B). Cut the refrigerated dough into 1/4" slices, and place each slice firmly on the end of a bamboo stick (figure C). Bake and cool as directed on the package.
- Cut the cellophane into 16" by 16" squares. When the cookies on a stick are cool, wrap each with cellophane, and secure at the base with a colorful pipe cleaner (figure D). Set completed cookies aside.
- Paint the bottom of a flowerpot with colorful acrylic paint, and when dry, paint the top a different color. Once the pot is dry, decorate it with colored office labels to create a polka-dot effect (figure E).
- Push the block of florist foam securely into the flowerpot (figure F). Tuck moss around the sides and top of the foam to cover it completely (figure G). Arrange cookies in the pot by pushing bamboo sticks through the moss and into the florist foam (figure H).
