DIY Graduation Money Gift
MATERIALS NEEDED –
- printable pot wrappers (download below)
- scissors
- 4″ terra cotta pot + saucer
- tape
- money
- floral wire
- wooden skewers
- small plant
DIRECTIONS –
- Download and print the printable pot wrapper of your choice. (We have a white and a black version.)
- Cut out the wrapper, place it around the pot, then tape it on the back.
- Fold your money in half (hamburger ways) and then fold it back and forth like an accordion. Pinch the center to make a bow, then wrap with some floral wire to hold its shape. Leave enough wire hanging off the bow tie to wrap around the wooden skewer.
- Repeat step 3 with as many money bow ties as you’d like!
- Place a small plant into the pot, then add the money around the plant by sticking the skewers into the soil.
… and that’s it!
Seriously. Does it get any easier than that?!
