Making Terra Cotta Gift Baskets! 😍🎁💚 // Garden Answer 

A good tip might be, that when you put the "lid" on it, you then top that with a piece of cardboard, before you tie it. And then glue the decor onto that piece of cardboard, so that if you just snip the strings, it lifts off, and can still be enjoyed, while you also avoid putting glue on the terracotta. Simply because, I know I would want to keep that little landscape intact, and maybe save it for next year.

Anyone else would love to receive that special gift from Laura! I know I would!!!!

Now THAT would make a great teacher's gift! The kids could even help me. I usually give ornaments or mugs to my kids' teachers, this would be awesome with a little Starbucks gift card tucked in the ribbon. Thanks for the idea!

So adorable!!!! Like the idea of having two saucers. That way the person receiving the gift could keep the top saucer and use it every year as a decoration. I think if I got that as a gift I would keep the decorated saucer just the way it is and then get another saucer to put under the pot. What a great idea. So creative thanks for sharing.

Laura you are definitely a product of your environment you find the tender beauty in every single thing thriving around you and find a special place for it to snuggle into its new home-so sweet of you!

Just an easy tip . I was a gift wrapper at Bullocks Westwood in LA while in college . They instructed us to lay the ribbon on the counter first , then place your gift on top and draw the string/ribbon up and center twist . So much more stable from the get go . 🎁💐🎁

I am going to a retirement party this afternoon and the retiree requested no gifts so I was taking just a card. AhHa!!! I had to stop in the middle of your video to forage my trees and back yard to decorate the outside of the envelope - a little bit of evergreen, crepe myrtle berries, vine, green/yellow euonymus leaves, hot glue and VOILA'!!! A pretty little living decoration on the corner of the envelope. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

I think anyone would be thrilled to get a gift like this. Beautiful.

Cute and very creative. I love the idea of the terra cotta gift "boxes". A very different and unique way to give a gardening gift. Happy Gardening!

These are beautiful! The lids can be used on table scapes and such after you remove them from the pots. I love it. What a beautiful and loving idea.

I agree the hot glue would be super easy to pop all the decor off. You could also cut a piece of cardboard to fit on the top (but underneath the tied rope), and glue everything to that. The cardboard would be covered with all the pretty items, and then the gift recipient could just lift it off.

The container you put the stuff you collected inside, is gorgeous by itself....

Laura, you are such an outside the box creative thinker...and I would even say innovative. I am amazed at how you put these three containers together. Thank you for sharing your heart for gardening and being an inspiration to all of us in our gardening journey. I love this idea and look forward to implementing it into gifts I give not just for the holiday but I can see this for anytime of the year. I know the receivers of these gifts will love them too!

Thank you Laura for this idea, love it. I will be getting smaller ones and gift my homegrown garlic, with the cute toppings!

Good Morning Laura. Those are absolutely beautiful!!!

Wow, this idea is soooo beautiful and magical. My 6 yr old granddaughter and I build a large fairy garden in her yard, this would be such a perfect idea to gift her some more fairies. And my son could get a bunch of seeds for next year's veggie garden. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. You always do such amazing things.

You are so creative and talented. Those turned out so well.

Love this 💗Laura you have made my days so much better I am getting up supper early my husband has recently passed so I need a distraction and you are it love everything you do you are so blessed keep doing what you love 💕

I thought those little tops were going to be difficult to decorate-but you made it look so easy and they are absolutely beautiful! It’s a gift that anyone would love to receive❤️

OMG! Laura, you are amazingly gifted! I’m so thankful for finding your channel 3 years ago. May you & your entire family be continuously blessed! ❤❤

I mean! Gorgeous!!!!!! You can bet I’m doing this for my coworkers… last year I gifted them a terracotta pot with 3 hyacinths and moss dress top… and this is an amazing shift to my style of “garden gifts”…. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations for your creativity and talent ❤

I would love, love, love to receive the gift of paper whites with the beautiful woodland scene on top! Exquisite.

All 3 gifts are so delightful!! Presentation is everything, and I absolutely LOVE these! 🥰

Wonderful - love projects like this. Love miniature scenes being created

Good morning! Have a blessed day everyone!🤗❤🤗 Such a beautiful gift! Great idea Laura, thanks!

These are fabulous! Your mom should make them and sell them at the garden center!

what a great idea that don't cause alot of money but is well worth it for someone who likes gardening for sure

I love them, what a great gift idea. Do you still go foraging? I loved watching you and your mom forage in the mountains but I'm sure that would not be safe this year after her surgery.

Love, love, love this Laura! There's something ✨️SO MAGICAL✨️ about your small projects! We are so used to your big garden, which is stunning... but it's also so beautiful to see everything on a smaller scale, too. Please never stop creating these small projects, you're so gifted and it's amazing to watch! It feels like something we can do/create.

* Laura mentioned that having a second pair of hands would help in tying the knots. Is Aaron around that he might help? I thought he was because sometimes the camera zooms in on different objects. * Love the angles that the camera is shooting in the garden, overhead, on the side, etc. Between setting up the camera, editing and such, the Garden Answer team sure knows how to mix it up and make it interesting visually...and also in the content Laura shares!🤩

Laura, those little gift pots are absolutely adorable! You are so creative and such an inspiration. I think a lot of us will be creating some of these as gifts thanks to your video. You are such a delightful person!

Can we all just take a minute and just fawn over Laura's crafting skills? These pots are just stunning ! Who wouldn't be happy to receive something like that? I know I would. Awesome video thank you for the beautiful idea

You are amazing. The ideas just keep coming. I’m newly retired and loving the inspiration to do things I’ve never had time for before.

You can definitely do this project with amaryllis by not planting the bulb beforehand. Just put the bare bulb in the pot and include a small plastic bag with potting soil in the space around the bulb….include any moss or stones as mulch. I’d also include simple potting instructions on a gift tag or on a sticker adhered to the bag of soil. Or, if you want to plant the bulb before giving it, I like the idea of putting another empty pot on top. Such fun ideas from you Laura. Thanks so much for jump starting my Christmas spirit.

Such thoughtful and loving gift ideas! Love it.

I groaned when I saw this upload, but I was completely won over by the end. LOVE this video.

Wow they are so beautiful Laura, such a nice gift to give or receive

😍These are just GORGEOUS!!!!!! Thank you so much for the ideas!!!

Lucky, lucky recipients of those gifts!!! Laura, your talent knows no bounds. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas with us. 🥰👌

Oh Laura they are Absolutely Beautiful. I would love to receive something like this. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friends. ❤️👭🎄

These are amazing! Would you consider making a playlist of your craft videos please, Laura? I love your creativity!

I love these projects and they are so pretty! A turntable for projects like this would be a big help, wouldn't it? It always amazes me how well you can show us what and how it is what you're doing. If I worked on a project backwards, no telling how it would turn out. Thank you!

I love the one with the deer and Xmas tree... Adorable

When you lit that tree tree 🌲 I about lost it. You are the Martha Stewart of Christmas. 🎉❤🎉

I’m for sure doing these gift pots for at least 1 family! Ohhhh.. I have so many ideas racing through my brain! Thanks Laura xxxx

Ohhhh geeeeee, what a wonderful idea. They are gorgeous.

Absolutely beautiful! A gift within a gift.

SUPER CUTE, what a great gift giving idea!!!

Very creative. Love using all the natural elements. I would put something on the top so that the saucer could be used or be sure to include an extra saucer on the bottom of each one.

Great ideas for low cost gifts that pack a wonderful presentation!

So beautiful, I’m always in awe of Laura’s skills!

Very sweet. What a fun project and a great gift for a gardener.

I would definitely add an extra saucer. Those tops are beautiful on their own for decoration or under a glass cloche. Beautiful!

What joy these will bring... even before they are opened! Thanks for your creative ideas, Laura!
