SUCCULENT LOVE:

These are my favorites this year from other websites, blogs and online stores. A variety of “DIY” Do-it-Yourself sites that show how to make and create these beautiful succulent designs. Simple and elegant, drought tolerant, lush looking and green!

Garden in a Christmas bulb from: floragrubb.com...It looks like these were dropped in and positioned with a long pair of tweezers. Air plant with moss. Nice idea!

Have you ever wondered how to make a Succulent Wreath? Purchasing these beauties can be expensive, but if you can acquire cuttings from a friend or neighbor wreaths can be a very inexpensive and luxurious Do-It-Yourself Project. Square and Heart wreaths look great too.

I’ve had many email requests on how to make succulent bouquets, I found a great website that shares all the specifics! http://poppytalk.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-succulents-bouquet-how-to.html

These bouquets could be added to a vase and kept “forever”… or a really long time

Got t0 love this one. A small-scale diorama with cactus and toy cars. This could be done with any theme and the creativity would be endless.
