Homemade Chia Pets

knee-high nylon stocking
2 Tbs. grass seed-empty yogurt container
1 cup potting soil
water
measuring cup
wiggly eyes
glue
pompon
yarn-acrylic paint or paint pens


1. Fill the toe of a knee-high nylon stocking with two tablespoons grass seed.
2. Pour in one cup potting soil. Gather the top of the stocking, and hold it with one hand. Press the outside of the stocking down, forcing the potting soil into a ball. Tie the stocking in a knot at the top of the ball. There will be a tail above the knot.
3. Turn the ball upside down, and place it tail first into a yogurt container filled with water. The tail will draw the water up into the soil and water the seed.
4. Glue wiggly eyes, a pompon nose and a yarn mouth onto the nylon-stocking ball. Paint a shirt and tie on the yogurt container with acrylic paint or marking pens.
5. Keep the yogurt container filled with water, and watch the grass grow. When the grass-head guy's hair grows too long, cut it with scissors. (
