A Sweet Teacher Gift That’s Easy to Make

I love how quick and easy this idea is—especially if you’re preparing multiple gifts for several teachers! I used a cardboard drink carrier and added potted blooms from the garden center. They look adorable, are easy to carry, and can be planted later for a gift that keeps growing!

This idea would also work beautifully with:

A bouquet of fresh flowers
A single potted plant
A small hanging basket
Even a mason jar of wildflowers!
