Great Idea, I think I would use a Plastic bowl, because I work with G. Scouts (Daisy) and decorate the inside first, Great Work.!!

[Lkymama]

i think it is brilliant! I can't wait to start for all the teacher gifts...thank you for your creativeness and sharing!

[danlynne07]

you are welcome. thank you for giving me the idea to give them to teachers too. i might write on the label something like "teachers like smarties" and then fill it with the smarties candy.lol ; )

it doesn't look like terra cotta kinda look like metal

[danlynne07]
