Miniature stone rose pots look very cute and, at the same time, elegant. A small pot with a plant is what you need to cheer up and create a spring atmosphere. Such a gift is unobtrusive and simple. If there is no place for a plant in the apartment, you can always move it to the balcony or transport it to the cottage. The stone rose is unpretentious and feels great even in the fresh air, especially in the spring and summer. You will not spend much effort and time on making such cute bonbonnieres with your own hands.

Detailed instructions:
Plants for your bonbonnieres you can order in advance on the Internet or purchase in a garden store. As for the capacity for the plant, you can use clay pots, but we use a more budget option - paper. Such pots can be beautifully painted with acrylic paints..
So, the first thing to do is paint our paper pots for plants. You can come up with completely different designs: stripes, polka dots or waves. You can completely color the pots or create a colorful picture. After staining, allow the pots to dry a little..
Take a bag of earth and fill your pots in 2/3. You can also take the land from plastic containers in which you purchase plants. Gently plant a stone rose in the ground. Sprinkle a little soil on top and compact it so that the plant is fixed in the ground.
Print on the cardboard the desired number of labels «Thank you». This can be done either with a stamp, or you just need to print the number of labels using a printer. Cut the inscriptions, leaving a few millimeters of cardboard at the edges of the inscription. Using glue (it is also convenient to use a glue gun), glue the labels on paper pots. Finally, add a small piece of cardboard with the name of the guest to the pot. Potted bonbonnieres are ready!
Application options
Charming potted bonbonnieres will be a great gift for both adults and children. In addition, this idea can be used for banquet cards, and for wedding table numbers.
You can choose all kinds of designs for pots using various materials and textures. Wooden tubs and clay pots look beautiful. You do not have to plant a stone rose in ordinary land. You can sprinkle the ground with small stones on top to make the design even more interesting. Such plants look very funny if you plant them in metal mini-buckets.
