My daughter is finishing her last week of preschool. I wanted to make a small "thank-you" gift for her 3 teachers. I pieced together different ideas from ana's site and other places on the Internet. The printout is from shanty 2 chic's website. I created 3 boxes using 2 six-foot cedar fence panels. I cut mine down to size based on the dimensions of the flowers I used. Drilled a few holes on each edge and used 1/4" sisal rope to make handles. Used hemp to tie the label's to each box. Each box took approximately 15 minutes to make. Including the cost of the flowers, each box cost less than $5 too!!

Estimated Cost
$5 / box
Estimated Time Investment
An Hour or Two (0-2 Hours)
Finish Used
No finishes. Just drilled some drainage holes. Cedar is great for outdoor use!
