How to make a Chia Pet

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!
