I'm Gillian, a Scotland based home & lifestyle blogger. Follow along as I navigate this new journey sharing my life from home.

Hello! I'm happy to be back today with another Create with Me challenge! This month you voted that we use succulents in our projects. I have been so obsessed with faux succulents lately! You can see how I created a whole tablescape for spring using succulents. In addition, my new farmhouse bathroom is the home of a hanging white succulent planter.

Today, I decided to show you how to create a realistic arrangement using succulents and mini planters. Most of my mini planters are not planters at all. I love using unsual objects for faux arrangements. I pick up a lot of vintage silver at thrift stores. They are cheap and make for great containers and decorative pieces. For this project, I had several silver cups, a green depression glass creamer that I got at an antique store, and a hanging egg planter. Using the following items, I created one-of-a-kind arrangements that can be used on your table, on a bookshelf, hung in a window or displayed on a desk.

Here's what you need to make Mini Succulent Planters

Supplies:

Vintage silver cups, creamers, planters of your choice
Floral Wire Cutters
Moss
Gravel
Faux Succulent Stems

For the glass container since it is see through, I filled the bottom with pea gravel and then moss.

For the other arrangements, just moss around the top and the edges of the planter was all you needed.

One tip is to buy arrangements with several stems so you can snip off the branches and use them for a variety of arrangements. Wire cutters make it much easier to cut a part the stems.
