Happy April! Amanda here today with a quick and easy gift for the green thumbs in your life. Hopefully most of you have dug your way out of the snow by now and are ready to get your garden going. Share the garden love with your friends and family by giving a garden-themed gift container.
Garden gift containers are inexpensive and come together in a snap. Start with a cute container, your favorite Pebbles patterned paper, and some seeds. For added gift giving flair, add a hand tool (or two) and a pair of garden gloves. This little watering can is super adorable, but an upcycled tin can would be just as lovely (and earth friendly).
Creating a theme for the garden gift containers makes it extra fun. Gather seeds that make a fun collection such as salad, salsa, or an herb garden. Embellish the seed packets with a cute label and pretty garden-themed sticker.
Make a cute garden label by fussy cutting one of the frames from the Gallery Wall paper from the Cottage Living collection. If your handwriting stinks like mine does, choose your favorite font and print directly on the labels.
I wrapped the container with paper ribbon from the Happy Day collection and tied a pretty bow with jute baker’s twine.
The 3×4″ Picture Punch from We R Memory Keepers is perfect for creating seed packets. No measuring and no cutting makes creating seed packets super easy. Choose your favorite patterned papers and punch away! Each seed packet requires only two 3×4″ cards.
Create the seed packets by stapling two 3×4″ cards together at the top and bottom. Next, fold the seed packet in half and tuck in between the paper. No fuss whatsoever.
Choose a cute font and print labels on patterned paper. Die cut the labels using this cute banner die from the Cottage Living collection. Adhere the labels to the seed packets and add a cute sticker.
In an even bigger crunch for time, or have a lot of gifts to make? Simply put a few seed packets into a small bucket (shredded paper optional) and add a label. Quick, easy, and sure to bring a smile! Happy planting!
