Succulent DIY

Succulents make good decorating accents and here is a quick and easy project that you may want to try. After a fellow deaconess friend came up with the idea, she and I assembled several for these to be used as centerpieces. When our Deaconess Board has occasion to do tables, we need everything  at the ready.

You just need a few things to assemble. Gather a clear ivy bowl, some pea gravel and a faux succulent. Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry the latter (don't forget your 40% off coupons!) and I have purchased some at Dollar Tree. While they are a great quality at the dollar store, they appear to have been a seasonal purchase as they are no longer in the stores.

Here is a bird's eye view of another one.

Simply add a few scoops of pea gravel to each bowl and insert the succulent pick.

We tied a double strand of raffia around the mouth of each ivy bowl, but you wouldn't need to do so. We will display ours on burlap runners for our purposes, but they would look good on an end table or shelf in your home. As you can see, it's a quick and simple decoration.

May your day be filled with simple pleasures.
