Cactus for your wedding guests

Giving small gifts to your wedding guests is a beautiful tradition that can also be creative. You can give them traditional gifts or something very original.

One of the ideas we like most is when the couple give little cactus plants to their guests. It is a symbolic present that lives and grows after the ceremony. These cacti are usually sold in plastic pots that don’t look very pretty in the context of the event. We are going to resolve this little issue! You’ll need a few bits you have around the house, lots of creativity and our cardboard pencil holder.

Let’s get to it!

 

A super post in collaboration with Esencia Gráfica.

 

Materials:

 

– Pencil holidays

– Stickers for the wedding

– Lace

– Flag-shaped labels

– Golden cord 

– Scissors

– Tissue paper

– Double-sided tape

– Gold felt-tip pen

– Cactus

 

STEP BY STEP:

 

1. With a gold permanent marker draw golden dots all over the surface of the pencil holder.
2. Then, close the pencil holder with double-sided tape. Next, stick the lace to the top. You can do it very easily with double sided tape.

 

3. Now, place the white cardboard structure inside.
4. Stick one of the special wedding stickers on the front. If you prefer, you can design your own sticker.

 

5. So the new pot doesn’t get dirty, wrap the plastic pot in tissue paper and then place the cactus inside.
6. Add a small label with the names of the guests and hang it from a golden cord to one of the cactus branches.

 

Quick, easy and very attractive! A pretty customised pot that will look great with the decorations in your wedding.
