2 Ways to Use Garden Seeds as Mother’s Day Gifts

May 2, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Wonderful Spring, the time when we can celebrate all of the amazing mothers, grandmothers, and soon to be mothers in the world. What better way to celebrate Mom this year than with a few pretty garden seeds. Today I am sharing two fun ways to display a variety of fun garden seeds for you to give to your favorite Mom out there. Each of these took under 5 minutes to create and they have a big impact!

I fell in love with the Valley Greene garden seed packets because of the minty green color and I had to use them in a fun way as a gift. Both my Mom and Mother-In-Law love to garden, so these were absolutely perfect for both of them.

Garden Seed Wreath

SUPPLIES

  • Garden Seeds
  • Garden Gloves
  • Grapevine Wreath
  • Mini Clothespins
  • Faux Flowers

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To create this wreath, begin by weaving your faux flowers through the grapevine wreath to secure.
  2. Take your garden gloves and weave into the grapevine wreath
  3. Use mini clothespins to secure each seed packet around the wreath. I used the grapevine wreath stems to intertwine the seeds too.
  4. Gift your beautiful seed wreath to a garden lover!

Garden Seed Watering Can

SUPPLIES

  • Garden Seeds
  • Garden Gloves
  • Watering Can, vintage or new
  • Mini Clothespins
  • Faux Flowers

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To create this gift, begin by adding your faux flowers to the watering can.
  2. Take your garden gloves and tuck into the watering can.
  3. Use mini clothespins to secure each seed packet to the faux flower stems.
  4. Gift your beautiful seed watering can to a garden lover!

I hope these easy DIYs give you a few ideas to display your garden seeds or give them as gifts. These projects would be so neat to create with vintage garden seed packets for a fun display piece too! Linked below are all of the supplies you may need for these projects and a few other small gift ideas for MOM!

Happy Mother’s Day!

When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project forever,  I truly did. I could not wrap my brain around how to get the back off of a watch, but it is so darn easy! This project literally took me 10 minutes. 

So a few notes, to take the back off of a watch,it’s very simple. You’re going to put a small amount of hot glue on the back of the watch and then glue on a wooden pencil. Let it dry then you’re going to simply twist and it will pop right off. When you’re ready to put the back on the watch, simply peel the glue off and pop it back on.

The other gadget that made this project so simple was the Polaroid printer that I have. I simply took a picture of an existing picture, printed it, and then cut it out by tracing the back of the watch.

The photo itself slips right in front of the watch mechanism so you don’t even have to take anything out if you wanted to keep the watch itself intact. 

I chose to do my mom and both of my grandma’s and I cannot tell you how happy this project makes me feel to see their smiling faces. 💗💗💗💗

Comment PRINTER and I’ll send you the link of the Polaroid printer that I used! Don’t forget to look at that jewelry table at the next garage sale you’re at for those fancy vintage watches!
