Make it: Kokedama

What is a kokedama you ask? Well, it's an awesome moss ball with a plant shoved in the middle. It's pretty much one of the cutest things I've ever seen. It originated in Japan and it's actually related to the much beloved bonzai. And it's pretty easy to make. Here's what you'll need:
- Any small potted plant (for this one, I used a mini dracaena)
- potting soil mixed with some clay soil 
- sheet moss
- string: twine in your choice of color
- scissors
- gloves
- pie pan
- bowl of water

Wasn't that super easy?!? Now you can either hang it with more string or simply put in on a pretty dish and sing to it or whatever you do for your plants to keep them extra happy.
Wanna see kokedamas in real life? Drop by our shop in San Francisco. We have a bunch of these lovelies hanging out in our window display. 
Til next time, keep making, keep creating, keep doing!
