Apologies for being so quiet but I am still settling into my new home, have just finished university and am getting ready to start my new job next week.
For my new home I'm wanting to go a lot more vintage and shabby chic. I also want to add more handmade and quirky touches. And so at the weekend I took the time to make this cute succulent planter for my coffee table
To make this planter you will only need a few things:
- A selection of succlents - I used three but the amount will vary depending on the size of you pot
- Something to plant them in
I have been obsessed with succulents for a little while but haven't been able to find any anywhere - I have tried countless garden and home shops and was wary of buying them online. I stumbled across some in Wilkinsons one day and at only £2 each I couldn't help myself!!
As for my upcycled planter I used my other halfs old clutch cover off of his Ducati. I toyed with the idea of painting it black or painting it with copper spray paint but I really liked the finish of the clutch cover as it was and thought it added to the industrial upcycled look (I'm also really impatient and wanted to get on and plant my succulents).
Once you have everything you need simply take your succulents out of their pots and plant them into their new home. I used the dirt alreay in the succulent pots rather than adding any new and just broke it up a little to fill the clutch cover. Make sure to pat the soil down to secure the plants and make them all snug, I also gave mine just a little water too.
And voila you have your own little handmade succulent planter!! The best thing about succulents in that they need little attention or water so they're excellent in you're not naturally geen fingered!
