Vintage Ladle Succulent Planter and How to Plant Succulents
How fun to combine a love of repurposing
with a green thumb?
Years ago I made a bunch of repurposed ladle projects using everything from vintage enamelware ladles to small silver ladles.
Today I'm repurposing my repurposed project by planting the vintage ladles (that used to be candle holders) with succulents.
Succulents are easy to propagate, all you do is to stick the babies on top of the soil and they throw out tiny roots that burrow down into the soil.
That's it... and bonus for me, succulents are the only thing I can grow because you can forget to water them for a long time.
I also have the perfect wall between some large windows in my kitchen that is the perfect place to hang this project where they will get plenty of light.
If you are interested in more information on propagating succulents you can read some helpful hints from Martha Stewart and me {here}.
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
What a wonderful idea, Susan! Love these!

Gail it is so easy to start them you literally just lay them on the soil!
DeleteThere were no details on planting the succulents. Can you share?
