Homemade Chia Pet Day One:

sing it with me...

Something should develop with these guys soon!


Added, 3/26/08: HELLO, lovelies who arrived here via The Crafty Crow... I never posted directions for these funny fellows:

Find an old nylon stocking.
Drop a scoop of grass seed in the toe.
Stuff a handful of mulch in next.
Tie it off tightly in a knot, so it can't shift around in there.
Paint on a face. Or draw one on with a Sharpie.
After the face is dry, place the chia pet (knot side down) in a little saucer of water.
Keep him wet and in the sunlight and the grass seed will sprout up through the stocking.

I apologize for not taking an after photo- part of what makes these guys so funny is the hair is very unpredictable. It can come in in some crazy patterns.

Have fun!

Cool!! You must post directions on how to do one of these. I know my kids would love it.

do-do-de-do-do

Cute idea!! If it works, we may try it. :)

that looks like fun.
looking forward to what evolves.

how fun.

and now I can't get that song out of my head!

great idea! i am anxious to see how they turn out...

what a great idea!

Yes -- please send directions! My little gardener would love to grow a pet. Love your new banner, by the way. A gorgeous image of fall!

I used to have a chia pet... A chia "head" actually -- kind of scary looking. These look much more friendly!

I love this. LOVE IT! Am making it very, very soon.
