Step 1: Line Your Basket
Start by lining your baskets with a scrap of burlap, slightly larger than the basket so it hangs over the edge.
Step 2: Add Succulents
Add any succulents of your choice to the basket and secure with hot glue.
Note: If you would rather the succulents be removable or you want to place extra gifts in your basket, don’t glue down the succulents.
Step 3: Print Tags
Print the tags onto white card stock and use scissors or a paper cutter to cut to size.
Step 4: Hot Glue Tags To Craft Sticks
Hot glue a tag to a craft stick before putting it into your gift. Use hot glue to secure if needed.
Once your craft stick is secure, your gift is ready for Teacher Appreciation Week or Mother’s Day!

Tips and Tricks for Thank You For Helping Me Grow Gift
Now that you’ve seen how to make this thank you for helping me grow gift, are you ready to make your own? Here are a few tips and tricks to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible!
- Make This Gift In Any Size – I decided to go with a smaller size, but you could make this in a bigger size so you could add more gifts to the basket.
- Use Fake Flowers Instead Of Succulents – If you would rather skip the succulents you can use a variety of fake flowers instead! However, if you use fake flowers, you will need to cut off the stems.
- Don’t Have Burlap? That’s Ok! – If you don’t have burlap, fabric scraps would work great for this project!
- Shop Smart – You can find all the supplies needed for this project at the Dollar Store! Now, with that being said, you may not find the exact brand, like David Tutera Wood Favor Baskets, but you will be able to find something similar to make this project budget-friendly!
