DIY Paperwhite Bulb Gift

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Supplies

  • Ball Mason Jar
  • White garden pebbles
  • Fresh paperwhite bulbs

Directions

  1. Wash mason jars and allow to dry throughly.
  2. Fill mason jar halfway with clean garden gravel.
  3. Place paperwhite bulbs (base-side down) on top of gravel nestling into the gravel allowing them to sit upright.
  4. Write care instructions (see below) and attach with string.

If you’d like to let the bulbs start growing before gifting, fill the jar with water just to the base of the bulb – you don’t want it to immerse the bulb fully in water. Place the bulb in a sunny location and watch it grow!

Care Instructions
Remove cover, add water to bulb level and watch them grow. Place in Sunlight.
