Handmade Herb Planter Cards
A handmade card is a simple way to let someone know you care for them.
These herb planter cards are a thoughtful idea – especially if your recipient loves herbs or enjoys a spot of gardening.
You can tailor these cards to your recipient. Maybe they love to cook? Add sage or parsley as your herb in this planter card.
Or if your recipient is not well, you could add rosemary, thyme or mint. These herbs are used in natural medicine to help with airways if one has a cold. Mint is sometimes used to help with an upset stomach. Write “Get Well” on the planter pot as a thoughtful ‘get better soon’ card.
Use whatever herbs you have growing in the backyard. If you don’t have herbs, you could also use flowers or other greenery like gum leaves.
Materials for Herb Planter Card
White cards and envelopes - Brown paper bags
- Scissors
- Glue
- Sticky tape
- Secateurs
- Herbs
- Black pen (optional if you want to write the herb on the card)
Instructions
- 1. Use the scissors to cut a plant pot shape from the base of the brown paper bag. The size of your planter pot will be determined by the size of your card. I cut the slanted edges to 15cm each side.
- 2. Fold the tops of the planter shape to create the edge which is most common on terracotta plant pots.
- 3. Glue the plant pot on the card. Use sticky tape to tape your cut herbs into the planter.
- 4. Use glue to seal the planter to keep the herbs secure on the card.
This is such a simple card idea which can be tailored to the reason for gifting.
