An Inexpensive Mother’s Day Gift

The project I want to share today is an Inexpensive Mother’s Day gift idea. I thought about what I could do for my mother on Mother’s Day. I scoured my brain for things she loves and came up with two things that would work together. She loves to garden, and she loves teacups and saucers. She has a vast collection of teacups and saucers, but she doesn’t have a teacup with a plant in it. I decided to put two of her favorite things together and make this:

Here’s what you do:

 Find a teacup and saucer. Thrift stores, Garage Sales, and Consignment shops are great places to find them.

• Put a few small stones at the bottom for drainage.
• Add topsoil.
• Add your succulents. Succulents are great because they don’t require a lot of watering or a lot of upkeep.

 There you go, a simple, inexpensive Mother’s Day gift. If your mother isn’t interested in tea cups, you could use old decorative tins or small baskets. Use your imagination! Make sure you add small stones for drainage or drill holes in the bottom.
