  • Here is the shadow box. I turned it upside down so that the glass is on the back side. The soil rests on the glass. You'll see how it works.
  • Here is the succulent potting soil.
  • Moss is laid on top of the soil and then chicken wire holds the whole thing together. I used a staple gun to hold the chicken wire down.
  • I made holes with a knife.
  • And added the little succulents.
  • Walah!
