DiY: Mini greenhouse to give away
The saying goes, "Little gifts keep friends alive." And the saying is right. And homemade items are always a good idea. Especially when they're made with such care, like these mini greenhouses, which you can craft quite a few of in a flash, thus preserving many friendships. Here are the DIY instructions for making them yourself.
You need the following materials:
- Jars with lids
- Earth
- seeds
- Decorative ribbons
Tool:
- Just your hands
And it's that easy
First and last:
Fill the thoroughly rinsed jar with soil, not completely, but a good portion. Leave some space at the top for the seeds and a little air space. You can plant the greenhouse with whatever you like—cress, for example, is a great choice. Of course, you can also give the seeds away separately from the jar or attach a seed paper tag to the jar.
The optional freestyle:
The steps for this DIY idea are very simple – but your imagination knows no bounds with this project. You can really let your imagination run wild when decorating the jars. You can then decorate the lid and jar beautifully with colorful cloths. A homemade label also adds charm and makes this gift truly special.
