Easy Succulent Planter Crafts

 
DIY Succulent Planter Crafts 

This craft is so easy to create, and it is beautiful in any space.

Craft materials such as faux succulents, ceramic bowl, craft rocks, and gold letter stickers

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 after adding some of your decorative stones. 
It really is that simple, and  I love how it turned out.

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 wooden planter boxes.  

A few fun ideas for these boxes

-A gift for a teacher. 
The first day, or last day of school
-Table centerpiece at a garden event, or wedding
-Display on a floating shelf
-Give as a gift to someone who adores succulents

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my acrylic paints and started...

Transforming a Dollar Tree Metal Home Sign with Paint

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Video tutorial  Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign. Using a small, pointed-tip brush, I carefully reached all the tiny areas around the leaves and buds. I applied three coats of black paint, drying each layer with my heat tool. This step creates a clean, even surface and helps the top colors stand out beautifully. Next, I used a light green paint t...
