Hello SCT friends!  As you may know, I love using my scrapbooking supplies for more than creating layouts and cards.  Décor pieces, party favors/decorations, gift-wrap – all come from the supplies in my studio. 

Last week I needed a hostess gift…fast.  I knew that she liked to cook and garden so herb plants seemed logical to me.  The problem was that they didn’t look very nice in their natural pots and I didn’t have time to hunt down other containers and replant.  My solution?  Scrapbooking supplies.

So today I’m going to show you a really EASY way to dress up some herb plants.

  Host1

Start with your plants and two pieces of 12X12 scrapbooking paper.  You’ll also need some twine, glue dots, and a gift tag.

Host2
Place your plant in the center of the paper.  Stick two glue dots along the edge of the pot along two sides and fold the paper up like a taco so that the edges stick.

Host3

One at a time, fold the point up toward the pot edge while tucking in the excess paper.  This will create a fold (or pleats) on either side.  Adhere the fold to the container with more glue dots. 

Host4

Wrap twine around the paper to secure the folds and attach a tag. 

Host5

Your plants are ready for giving!  This would also work to create a seasonal or themed centerpiece.  Simply change out the type of plant and/or scrapbooking paper!

Thank you for checking in today. I hope you try this idea and please share your work!
