Painted Succulent Planter with Free Teacher Appreciation Printable
Hi friends, Jess from If Only They Would Nap here! The end of the school year is coming, and if you have little ones in school, chances are you need to get a teacher gift or two. As a former elementary school teacher, I can tell you how wonderful it is to feel so appreciated at the end of a long school year! This easy DIY is something that teachers can enjoy year-round, and if you don’t have a teacher to buy for, make one for yourself!
Hanging Succulent Planter
Supplies:
- succulent planter (I found these fabulous ceramic hanging planters at Target. Here is a similar one.)
- paint {or a Sharpie marker!}
- paintbrush
- Free Thank You Printable
1. Choose the color and find a paint that is appropriate for the material of your planter.
2. Begin to paint your design! I began with polka dots:
3. Continue to paint all around the planter until you’ve covered it as much or as little as you want. Experiment with fun designs, like these plus signs:
4. Fill with succulents and the appropriate dirt/rocks.
5. Then, if you’re giving these to a teacher, print off these easy thank you cards that say “Thank You for helping me grow” – I love a good punny thank you note!

Each page has four cards, so you can print them out on card stock and have ready made cards for each teacher in your child’s life or print them onto regular paper and glue to the front of a card that your child colors.
And if you aren’t in need of a teacher gift, just hang them up and enjoy them yourself!
Or maybe do both? Because let’s be honest, you just can’t have too many succulents around!
So fresh and bright – great for a gift or great for your own home!
