Use your favorite print shop or graphics program to compose a tag and decorate with clip art. A few design suggestions include an initial Baby Block -- if you know the new baby's name -- a stork or carriage. Compose a message for the tags. For example, the tags could say:
“A Baby is a precious gift Given from above
A life for us to cherish to nurture and to love
So please plant these little seeds and watch them grow and bloom
Just like little baby Who'll be arriving soon!" -

Print enough tags for each pot. Use crimping scissors for a decorative touch.

Punch a hole in the corner of each hang tag with a hole punch.

Thread a decorative ribbon through the hole of each hang tag and wrap it around the center of the tulle.

Cut apart a silk spray of baby's breath, and attach a single sprig to each ribbon, if desired.
