12 Show-Stopping Succulent Crafts

by

There’s something to be said for bringing a little bit of the outdoors into your home. A little bit of greenery can easily brighten up any room. That’s why we are just in love with succulents right now! They are the most adorable little plants, and they can flourish just about anywhere. I’ve seen people keep succulents on their bookshelves, on their desk at work, even hanging from the ceiling!

There are a lot of reasons that succulents are so popular. A big reason is that they are a very low maintenance plant. As long as they are kept in sunny spots, they only need to be watered about once a week (depending on the week). Learn more about how to care for succulents here.

Remember, succulents can be more than just an adorable piece of home decor. Succulents can be given as gifts, make precious party favors, and have even been used at weddings! Succulents can be incorporated into corsages, bouquets, and even used as place cards at a reception. There’s no end to what these charming little plants can be used for.

Now that it is officially March, that means there is one thing on everyone’s mind: Spring is coming!! This means that it’s time to get creative and breathe new life into your home. And what better way to celebrate the approaching change in season than with these show-stopping succulent crafts?

Link Love: Garden Crafts for Spring

They say that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, and this month has really lived up to that reputation. From sub-zero temperatures to snowy days, there have been no shortage of weather related catastrophes in my neck of the woods. Luckily, however, April means the true start of spring. I love the blooming flowers, green leaves and, of course, warmer weather. One fun way to celebrate spring is by heading outside and planting a few flowers. Better yet, if you have the space, cultivate your own garden and fill it with handmade items.

There are so many ways to transform even the smallest space into a pretty garden. If you have a flower bed, you’ll want to create a Bead Buster Garden Stake or a Butterfly Garden Stake. Both of these projects add a fun touch to a sea of florals. If you don’t have access to a mound of dirt, you can use decorative clay pots and planters to add color to your space.  Our roundup, 10 Clay Posts You’ll Fall In Love With, features creative DIY ideas to get you started.

Head out to your garden, take a deep breath and celebrate spring – you deserve it after this winter season!

Garden Fun For Kids

Well, there’s only one week left until June, which means now is the perfect time to start your garden if you haven’t already. The sun is shining bright and the rain keeps feeding those plants and veggies. Your kids want to help you in the garden but you just don’t want them ruining anything, well now they can help. I came across this really cute garden marker your kids can make. You might be wondering what a garden marker is. Well, it’s a little sign that can help you organize your garden and label what vegetable is what and the same for plants and flowers if you’d like. Your kids will love making them. All you need are some popsicle sticks, foam and a few other items. They can be made in two to three easy steps.
