Flowers and succulents are a must for a garden party. Send your guests home with seed packets and dried flowers! This is a gift that keeps blooming year after year. This vertical succulent garden is a pretty way to display party favors, and as a bonus can act as a memo board for the home long after the party is over!

Paint the unfinished wood frame to coordinate with your party's theme. I chose a bright sunny yellow that also goes well with my home's décor.
While the paint on the frame is drying, download and cut out the envelope template, and then trace it onto a piece of vellum. You can find the template under the list of supplies on the right.
After you've cut out your envelope shapes, begin creating them by first folding the bottom piece up, then the left piece inward. Add a line of hot glue on both the bottom and left side, and then fold the larger right side over, pressing firmly to adhere.
Fill your envelopes with dried flower petals and or flower seeds. I found the flower petals on Etsy. I layered the flower petal filled envelopes on top of pretty flower seed packets that I picked up at my local home and garden center for added interest and dimension.

Using wire cutters, remove the long stem part of the succulent picks. Arrange the succulents in opposite lower and upper corners of the wood frame and adhere them using hot glue.
Attach the envelopes and seed packets to your freshly painted DIY unfinished wood frame using small clothespins.
Finally, display the sign at your Spring Gardening Party. After your guests leave, hang your new memo board in your home to keep you organized!
