I had some extra boards left over from previous projects, and after seeing Shanty 2 Chic's Planter Box Centerpiece, I got inspired to make a "chunkier" version of my own.
And then I saw this at my friend's house & I just knew I had to include succulents in this project.
I cut my 2x4s in the following increments:
One 20" long
Two 24" long
Two 4" wide (keeping the height 4" tall)
After making sure all the cuts were just right, I drilled them together and stained with a "Dark Walnut Stain."
To make sure the wood wouldn't rot from watering the plants, I added a waterproof liner (trash bag) under the dirt.
After spacing out my succulents & making sure they felt at home, I used rocks collected from the ocean as a covering.
And it was done!
I LOVE how it turned out!
Hope you try it out for yourself! It's such a super classy centerpiece.
Love this so much! I LOVE succulents. Love, Ashley
ReplyDeleteLike the wood color. What satin did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used Minwax Dark Walnut Stain. Just make sure you don't leave it on too long or it will get sticky- so wipe it off as soon as it sets in. :)
Deleteok. thanks.
