DIY – Succulent Shower Favor
I had the absolute honor of hosting our best friend’s baby shower last weekend here in San Francisco. She is expecting TWINS! We are beyond thrilled for her as we know first hand the experience of being twins is amazing – a true blessing.
We love making handmade baby shower favors. It is such a symbol of love and care for the new mama and baby! The DIY favors can be simple, like these DIY Succulent Shower Favors. We have made fabric wrapped candles as well and everyone adored them.
I am sharing a tutorial on making living shower favors. I wanted to use succulents as they do so well in the San Francisco climate.
I found these darling tumblers at Ikea to use as the pots. It is fun to give a favor to guests that they can enjoy for a while and be reminded of the sweet mama to be as they watch the plant grow!

How to make DIY Succulent Baby Shower Favors
1. Plant the succulent in the pot using succulent potting soil. I added a thin layer of small rocks on bottom of pot since there are no draining holes.
2. Make the washi tape flags – I used wide washi tape. Cut a piece of tape 3.5 inches long. Fold over top of stick. Make 2 cuts to make tape look like flag.
3. Gift tag – Melissa designed the precious gift tag, Little Loves. I used baker’s twine to attach the tag to the craft stick.
Now you have a sweet living shower favor. We love how these turned out. Nothing quite like a living plant gift. Hope you enjoy our DIY Succulent Shower Favors project.
Enjoy,
Sara
