a. Snack-size plastic bowls. These came from the grocery store at $3.99 for a pack of 8 — affordable party packaging at $0.50 a piece!
b. Green acrylic paint, a small paintbrush, and a small square of porous sponge. You may use spray paint, however, the finish will be smooth, with some sheen. The method of dabbing paint with a sponge results in a fantastic flocked appearance.
c. To decorate: green and yellow cardstock, 5/8″ black ribbon, 1/2″ double-sided tape, and a pair of scissors.
