Easy Succulent Planter Crafts

Today I’m sharing three easy planter ideas that turned out so cute. These little projects are perfect if you love simple décor that brings a soft pop of greenery into your home without any maintenance. Each craft starts with affordable materials and comes together quickly, whether you want something for a shelf, a desk, or a small accent table.

I used a mix of faux succulents, small containers, and a few decorative touches to create three different looks—each one beginner‑friendly and great for a relaxing afternoon craft. If you’re looking for easy ways to add a bit of natural charm to your space, these succulent planter ideas are a sweet place to start.

Succulent Bowl Planter

Materials needed:

1 Bowl

3 Succulent plants

Decorative rocks

Decorative stones

1 sheet of Adhesive pearl wrap

Assorted letters (with sticky backing)

All of my materials were picked up at my local Dollar Tree

Total cost: around $8 

Creating your design

Start off with your adhesive pearl wrap. I cut out three strands to go around my bowl. Depending on the size of your bowl, you may need more or less.

Wrap your pearl wrap around your bowl.  After you have done this, you are now ready to apply your letters to your bowl. I decided to spell out the word Love, but you can put just about anything in your bowl.  

After you have done this, make sure to add in some of your decorative rocks. Next, arrange each succulent into your bowl, and add some of your decorative stones. 

It really is that simple, and  I love how it turned out.

Succulent Wooden Boxes

These planter boxes were so fun to create, and there are so many ideas that go along with these fun planter boxes. I'll be sure to share those at the end.

Materials needed:

2 Succulent plants

Chalkboard wooden stakes

2 Wooden square boxes

(Styrofoam)

*Decorative rocks, or stones, from a previous craft

paint

paint brush

and water

Total cost around $10

Start off with painting your succulent boxes. I combined two paint colors for my boxes.  Allow your paint to completely dry. Next, take your wooden chalkboard stakes and, using some scissors, carefully remove the sticker on the back. Using some chalk, you can write a little message on the chalkboard. Using hot glue, apply your chalkboard piece to your box.

If you have Styrofoam on hand, use this to hold your succulents in place. If not, you can always use more decorative rocks and stones.  

You're all done! Now you can display your wooden planter boxes.
