Yogurt pots in disguise!
Looking for an easy, inexpensive craft that will keep your kids busy?
Get busy and creative, recycling empty yogurt pots into decorative containers that make great paper clip holders or ornaments.

Tear or cut pieces of gift wrap, fabric, ribbon etc. and glue them to the pot in any way you like. Make sure you decorate the whole pot. Have fun and be creative!

Let the glue dry.

Display your disguised yogurt pot on a shelf, or, use it as a storage pot for small objects like paper clips and hair elastics.
