Maria Rodale: DIY: An Easy Holiday Hostess Gift

By guest blogger designer Mark Kintzel I think the great variety of little trees and topiaries available at local florists and nurseries make perfect holiday gifts. However, often, the containers they come in aren't that attractive, so I'm going to show you how to dress them up. Here's what you need: A nursery-potted plant (I like rosemary topiaries, Alberta Spruces, and Golden European Trees, which are in the cypress family) Old flannel shirt(s) Twine or ribbon A plastic bag Pinking shears or scissors capable of cutting fabric. Watch the video clip to see how easy this is! This is a great touch for presenting a festive holiday plant, and it allows you to reuse an old shirt (or any interesting-looking fabric) rather than throw it away.
