CHIA PET

This pet really captivates my heart. I made my own mini version of a homemade Chia Pet last year and it turned out really adorable. I searched the net for procedures but all require a stocking which I do not have in hand. I can't wait to try making one so I used the  gauze bandage that I got from our medicine box at home and this is how it turned out:

Day 1

Day 5

Day 10

Makeover Day!!!

Here's how I did it:

Materials:

• gauze bandage
• palay grains
• dirt
• thread/string
• buttons
• glue
• jelly cups

Procedure:

1. Cut gauze into square (approximately 5"x 5"), double if gauze is thin.

2. Cup gauze with hand and fill with 15-20 palay grains then put enough dirt/soil.

3. Gather the edges of the gauze and tie with a thread/string to close. It should be round, like a ball.

4. Glue buttons for eyes (or use googly eyes).

5. Place the head in a jelly cup that will serve as a stand.

6. Water everyday and wait for the hairs to grow.

7. If the hairs are already long, give it a cut! =)

So cute!
