I really enjoy working with my hands. Putting these succulents together was easy and fun! First I purchased all my supplies. I got these great wine and brandy glasses from Ikea. Ikea has cheap glassware, and so many things to choose from. I got the plants and soil from The Home Depot. They were about $2 . 50 per plant.
The best way to put the succulents into these fancy glasses are: Add a bit of soil, then add a little water, just enough to make the soil stick together. I dug a small hole in the soil so I could place the roots of the succulent in. I put the plant in, then added a little bit more soil to make it nice and secure. Thats it! I did a few coming out of the top and some fully coved in the glass. I wanted them to look cute and different! And a little fancy of course!
I am loving these Green Succulents at home.. My own little garden

P.S. You only need to water these guys once every 2-3 weeks!
Step by step: And thats a wrap!
The supplies you will need to get this look at home are.. One sturdy box, wrapping paper, scissors, tape, tissue paper, string, washi tape & branches of some sort. And obviously a present to put in the box.
This was a gift for my brothers girlfriend Natasha. She just turned the big 22!
First I placed a few pieces of tissue paper in the box, along with this beautiful vase. Fold everything in and wrap the box. I used packing paper, I like the brown paper bag look & it's only $4.50 for a huge roll. Way cheaper than traditional wrapping paper!! Next grab the branches & string, bunch the ends of the branches together, tie a knot through the ends to keep them nice and secure. I used washi tape to secure the branches to the box. I think its a little cuter than using clear scotch tape. Next take a step back and admire this oh so pretty present.
Here is a picture guide of how I did everything.

Flowers or rosemary would be pretty cute with this too!
All things used in this look were bought at Target.
Shh: The branches were picked from a bush in the target parking lot.
