Hello everyone, it's Gina here today to share with you how to create DIY Mother's Day Plant gifts. Who doesn't love receiving a handmade gift, especially if it is something that you can put to good use?
I love to give practical gifts to my two Mom's (Mother and Mother in-law) each holiday. I decided that this year, I would create my own DIY planters using a common herb that we all use (sage) and embellishments and pieces from the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.
I started off by using recycled soup cans. I soaked them until the labels easily came off, then packed them with soil and sage plants.
Next, I cut two pieces of burlap fabric and adhered them to the outside of each potted plant using a clear liquid adhesive. Once the glue had dried, I cut off a small length of crochet ribbon and fabric for each potted plant and then tied them around. I placed a chalkboard sign post (available from American Crafts) in each potted plant and then embellished them both with a sticker.
Next, I created embellished tags using old book paper, doilies, ephemera, and stickers. Once the tags were finished I used mini clothespins to attach each tag to each plant.
These handmade gifts are sure to please all of the Moms in your life! Thank you for stopping by the Crate Paper blog today, I hope that you feel inspired to create your own handmade Mother's Day gifts.
