DIY Christmas Gift: Coconut Succulent Hanging Planters
So here is a little DIY Christmas gift inspiration for you.
Coconut Succulent Hangers are a little bit quirky.
A little bit cute.
They are fabulous for giving this holiday season.
(Or for birthdays, house warming, Mothers day or Fathers Day)
To make two hangers, you will need:
Two small coconuts that have had top 1/4 sawn off and scraped clean of the coconut flesh.
String
Potting mix
Succulent plants (cuttings will work fine)
Cut six lengths of string about 53 inches (135cm) long.
Gather three together, fold in half and knot at loop for the hanger at the top.
Then knot 3 inches (8cm) down two strings together.
Then again at 4 inches (10cm) down.
Knot again 4 inches (10cm) down, but split the strings. As shown.
This makes the holder shape for the coconut shell.
Then split knot again about 2 1/2 inches (7cm) down.
Place the coconut shell in place.
Knot all the strings together under the coconut.
Trim ends of the string.
Fill each coconut with potting mix and add water until damp.
Place the succulent cuttings into the potting mix.
Hang.
I have hung mine under the candle chandelier over my covered deck mosaic table.
Note: There are no drainage holes in the shell,
so only water when the soil has dried out.

This is such a cute idea! I love succulents so I'm already thinking about where I would hang these in my home.
