You Will Need (7 things)

  • Succulent plants
  • Paper Bowl
  • Bird Cage
  • Small Decorative Rocks
  • Mosses
  • Potting Soil
  • Glue Gun

Steps (5 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your supplies, along with an assortment of succulents. Make sure to cover your work space to make clean up easy!

  2. 2

    First I took cut a piece of heavy watercolor paper in a circle to line the bottom of the cage. Then I cut the rim off a paper bowl and used my glue gun to cover the edges of the bowl with moss, letting it fall over into the bowl.

  3. 3

    To plant the succulents, put a layer of stones in the bottom of the bowl/planter. On top of that add potting soil designed for succulents. It is very light and drains well. Wet soil is deadly for succulents.

  4. 4

    Lastly, add the plants. Tucks some moss and stones in around to create a natural feel.

  5. 5

    I finish it off by sitting the bowl into the cage and adding some moss to fill in any open spaces that show the bowl. Now you are ready to display!
