A Modern May Day Project: Crepe Wrapped Succulents

 Put a modern day twist on May Day with these crepe paper wrapped succulents!

Materials:

Double-Sided Crepe Paper

Cotton Twine

Mini Potted Succulents 

Step 1: Begin with a square of crepe paper that is about 3 times wider than the diameter of your pot. For example, these little pots are about 2", so my crepe paper squares are approximately 6" wide. With the pot centered on the square, fold each corner up.

Step 2: Grasp the mid-point between each corner of the crepe paper, crease, and wrap around the pot. 

Step 3: Tie a piece of cotton twine to hold the crepe paper in place. Depending on your event, you can even add a gift tag to each favor with a personal message.
