Grab your Glue Dots, popsicle sticks, twine, and a few succulents to make a cute Succulent Garden gift for any occasion.  You don’t need a green thumb to make this garden grow!

**Designed by:** Robyn Power  
**Time:** 25 minutes  
**Level:** Beginner  
**Size:** Approx 9″ x 4.5″

I absolutely love this little succulent garden gift DIY. It’s a sweet and simple little gift that is also really inexpensive and easy to make in a short amount of time.

**Here’s what you need:**

- [Glue Dots® Craft Dots](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1014?plpver=1002)
- [Permanent Glue Squares®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1232?plpver=1002)
- Succulent(s)
- Small pot (I used a terracotta one about 4 x 4.5)
- Soil
- Popsicle sticks
- DecoArt Americana acrylic white paint
- Twine
- Green paper (optional)
- Wood chip or paper tag
- Black sharpie (optional)
- Scissors
- Paintbrush

**Here’s what you do:**

Plant your succulents into your little pot. I wanted a natural look, so I went with a terracotta pot.

![succulent-gift-idea-planted.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Teacher/Succulent%20Pot/succulent-gift-idea-planted.jpg?width=725&height=1087&name=succulent-gift-idea-planted.jpg)

Here’s how to make your popsicle stick garden gate:  Take your popsicle sticks and lay several of them out next to each other flat. Use your Permanent Glue Squares to adhere a popsicle stick across the top and the bottom of the sticks you laid out flat. Cut off the excess wood with scissors. Adhere one more popsicle stick diagonal across the top of all of the sticks.

Give your “gate a “whitewashed” look with Americana white acrylic paint.

![succulent-gift-idea-painting-popcicle-sticks.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Teacher/Succulent%20Pot/succulent-gift-idea-painting-popcicle-sticks.jpg?width=725&height=1087&name=succulent-gift-idea-painting-popcicle-sticks.jpg)

Use Permanent Glue Squares to adhere two more popsicle sticks to the back of the gate to act as an anchor in the soil in the pot.

![succulent-gift-idea-extra-popcicle-sticks-anchor.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Teacher/Succulent%20Pot/succulent-gift-idea-extra-popcicle-sticks-anchor.jpg?width=725&height=972&name=succulent-gift-idea-extra-popcicle-sticks-anchor.jpg)

Optional: Create a little mini wreath to hang on the popsticle stick garden gate by cutting out tiny little leaves from green paper and using Permanent Glue Squares and Craft Dots to adhere them around in a circle on your gate. Add a bow to your wreath with your twine.

![succulent-gift-idea-finished-popscicle-gate.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Teacher/Succulent%20Pot/succulent-gift-idea-finished-popscicle-gate.jpg?width=725&height=484&name=succulent-gift-idea-finished-popscicle-gate.jpg)

Place the new popsicle stick garden gate in the back of the pot and add some twine and a bow around the top of your pot.

![succulent-gift-idea-finished.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Teacher/Succulent%20Pot/succulent-gift-idea-finished.jpg?width=683&height=1024&name=succulent-gift-idea-finished.jpg)

Leave it as is or add a little tag to the front of your succulent flower pot. You can print one out or use a wood chip/slice and a sharpie to create one like I did.  I made this as a teacher appreciation gift, but it's a great gift idea for any occassion.

Hi! I’m Robyn and blog over at Create it. Go! I live in beautiful Northwest Arkansas and love being outside. I’m a mom to five fun, crazy kiddos that I love, ranging in age from 16 down to 4. And I’m a wife to a man that I love laughing wtih! I love to create. I love papercrafting, working with wood, upcycles, repuposes, and DIY’s, crafting anything in general, trying out new recipes, sewing, photography, you name it! I also like to pick up a good book and ignore those dishes and laundry that never seem to go away. haha My life is never boring and can almost always use some re-balancing and simplifying. It’s not perfect, but I love it!
