Here's what you need:

Hanging Mason Jar (you can find the tutorial to create these on the link below)

Tiny Seashells

Potting Soil (I used one made for palms and cactus)

Succulents

I used the mini seashells as my base layer. Succulents don't like to sit in water, so you want something at the base to drain into... I thought with summer coming shells would be perfect!

Next a layer of potting soil.

Finish with your choice of succulents. I scored a 4 pack on Lowes clearance for only $1.

Lightly water about once a week, unless it's in a really warm space.

left-over Chalk Paint® and small-scale stencils from previous projects. After the first grouping, I could not stop. It's addictive! These make perfect gifts and decorative accents.

glass crystals from old light fixtures... and the result is a lotta' sparkle in your yard! Use one circle, or multiples in concentric sizes for a tiered effect. You can also add test tubes or floral tubes, to hold flower stems and tall taper candles.

before it's too late! I bought this cute hat table centerpiece from Micheals about a month ago. And since I have two front doors, which can get pricy to decorate, I decided to split the hat into two sections. Way cheaper than buying double of everything.

good painter when it comes to little details like letters. However, I read about several ways to transfer fonts onto wood and thought I would give it a try. I think they turned out pretty close to the actual fonts and it was super easy and fun. I can also be the first to tell you if I can do it anybody can do it. :)

add aesthetic functionality to their home. . . I made them a candle holder from a gourd grown in my garden.

Starting with a raw gourd, I used pyrography (wood burning), ink dyes, and pigment powders to create the votive holder.
