Hi Everyone! I’m Mandy and I blog over at www.SugarBeeCrafts.com – it’s fun over there, and full of simple, recreateable crafts, so be sure to come check it out! I’m super excited to be a part of the Teacher Appreciation Series over here at Skip to My Lou – love it here!

When I think Teacher Appreciation Gifts, I automatically think of a plant for the classroom. To make it a little more fun than a boring houseplant, I picked up these awesome mini cacti. And I put together a quick planter board to display them. I have a tutorial on how you can simply (and for just a few dollars) make your own.

The first step is to paint mini pots with craft paint. I think is a great project to involve your kiddo – they will be more vested in the project if they have contributed to it’s creation, and the teacher will love to display it knowing the child helped create it.

Next up is building the Mini Planter Display. You will need a piece of wood, an electrical conduit pipe (just over $1, in the electrical section), brackets for the pipe (they’re right next to the pipes in the store), and screws. Place your pots on the board to see how long it needs to be. Cut 2 lengths of pipe the same length as the board.

Next snap the brackets onto each end of each pipe. Screw into place directly on top of the board. That’s it! See, you can do this – –

Replant your mini cactus or succulents or plant of choice into the cute painted pots.

That’s all there is to it!

It makes a great yet simple gift to give to a teacher to show your appreciation for all that they do:
