Materials:
Glass jars
Enamel paint (I used Plasti-kote’s Fast Dry Enamel Brush On in Jade, Sky Blue and Lavender)
Sponge (I used a kitchen sponge)
Small pebbles
Potting soil
Mini succulents
Directions:
1. Clean and dry the jars. Pour a little enamel paint out into a dish, and dab with the sponge (you don’t want to overload the sponge).
2. Pat the sponge gently onto the bottom of the jar, going over the area at the bottom until the jar is totally covered, but leaving a lighter covering at the top for a graduated look. Leave the dry and repeat if necessary.
3. Put a layer of small pebbles into the base of the jar (for drainage) and then fill with potting soil to the rim.
4. Use your fingers to make a hole in the soil and then pop in your mini succulent, pressing the soil down around it to make sure it’s firmly planted (I used the back of a teaspoon for the cactus to avoid getting pricked!).
Disclosure: Plasti-kote provided me with the paint for this project free of charge
Oh, I love these, so pretty! Now I see they are not aquarium rocks – though am a little intrigued to try something which uses those too.
Aquarium rocks? In the soil? Just potting soil I’m afraid 🙂
You’ve got my mind working about how to use aquarium rocks now though…
Love this!
Ta very muchly x
Super cute and so spot-on Urban Jungle Bloggers! Hope to see your shelfie in a few weeks 😉
I am already planning my shelfie! These planters may make another appearance, but I think there’ll be some new elements too 😉
Oh I love these so much! They’d look perfect on my kitchen window sill in fact 😉
Time to get out the paint 😉
These are great. I love succulents, generally the only plants that survive in my house!
Same here Vicki. Although I’m quite proud that I’ve kept some geraniums alive for over six months now…
