Get creative with your very own DIY boho succulent planter.
Its a beautiful centerpiece for your home and just a great project for teens and adults.
Just take a look at this gorgeous planter.
Its not just any old, plain, or boring planter, no.
This ones like a little terrarium in one single pot.
What I love about it is the bohemian vibe that it throws off in spades.
Theres a lovely touch of rusticity, too.
But all those textured rocks and succulents just scream earthy boho-chic, dont they?
Check full tutorial here!
You will have noticed by now that were not going to be using real succulents.
Thats because this planter is essentially a display piece.
But, if youre using one of those generic ones, then youll be glad for the make-over.
you’re able to also use a plastic or a metal box to the same effect.
So, grab your hot glue gun to get started.
Line the board with glue starting at one end from the bottom and lining up to the top.
Step 2
Take a skewer and press it into the line of glue to adhere it.
Hold it in place for a few moments while the glue dries.
It might be easier to apply multiple lines of glue at a time and stick the skewers in place.
The process will be quicker that way.
Step 3
Grab a pair of pliers and clip the skewers as evenly as possible.
The ends should not be longer than the height of the box.
Continue to work your way through the entire box alternatively gluing and clipping the skewers.
When youre done, your box should look something like this.
Its already so pretty, isnt it?
Step 4
Now, its time for sandpaper to come to the rescue.
You remember when you clipped the skewers?
Well, we need to even the ends out so they dont look too jagged.
Grab a bit of sandpaper and scrub the ends as much as you like.
Step 5
Grab your paint and brushes and start painting the skewers.
you’ve got the option to start by applying a nice base coat.
Step 6
Its time to line the bottom of the box with a sheet of styrofoam.
you’ve got the option to use ready-made sheets or even buy an entire block.
Then, just cut either of them down to size to fit the bottom of the box.
Tuck the styrofoam in there, as seen here.
you’re free to also use fabric if you like.
you could even add a few bits of pumice stone in there for added texture.
Step 9
Sprinkle some sand between the gaps to fill them up.
You dont want the white bits from the napkin underneath to show, do you?
it’s possible for you to also add in a few seashells and other embellishments.
That can add a bit of a beachy-vibe to your bohemian box.
There you golooks like something you bought from a shop, doesnt it?
