Easy and Attractive Succulent Décor Ideas to Beautify Your Home
From my years of experience parenting succulents, one thing that you need to know about these plants is that they can not only grow best in room temperatures, but they also make ideal home décor pieces.
Make a Hanging Succulent Planter
Materials you’ll need:
- Paint
- Spanish moss
- A hot glue gun
- Faux succulents
- A display case
- A picture frame sawtooth hanging brackets
Instructions to make the hanging succulent planter:
Step 1: You start by unscrewing the top glass frame from the bottom box and then eliminating the hinges.
Step 2: You can try filling the holes with wood filler and then painting them a color of your choice. (If you are too lazy for that, just skip this step.) For the painting part, you could use the dry brush technique or go for spray paint – it’s indeed the easiest and fastest way to paint all those tiny compartments. Once the painting phase is over, give it a few minutes –around 15-20 minutes – to dry out.
Step 3: Now, using the hot glue gun, stick the Spanish moss into each tiny compartment and right on top, you can add the succulents and make sure you glue them properly.
Step 4: The last stage includes nailing a sawtooth picture frame bracket on the crate and if you are using a display that already has picture frame hooks on the back of it, you can just hang it right away.
