Directions
- Lay out your artificial turf with the turf side facing down
- Place your fruit box or plastic bin on the tuf and trace with permanent marker
- Repeat this for all sides. *TIP: For the top of you bin cut true to size. For the sides of the box, give yourself an extra ½ inch at the top
- Use garden shears or an X-Acto Knife to cut artificial turf to fit each side of your crate *TIP: If you want a larger hedge gift, combine two milk crates together with hot glue prior to making measurements.
- Hot glue each piece on by one, with the turf spears facing up
- Use a thick ribbon and wrap gift with a large bow on top
Note: For outdoor hedge gifts make sure the base you use is weatherproof ex. plastic milk crate, wooden crate, plastic bins. For indoor hedge gifts you can use a cardboard box, as long as the artificial turf is lightweight and won’t weigh it down
