Egg Cup Succulents

I had several wooden egg cups leftover from another project and while passing through the workshop today I had an idea! 


There was Dollar Tree floral foam on my workshop table and that was all I needed to see. 


This easy and inexpensive idea looks so pretty on a small shelf and if you're a succulent lover, just anywhere is a good place! 


See what I created from just a few leftover supplies.

The wooden egg cups I had leftover when I used them as legs for a cutting board were just laying around gathering dust... until today.

I cut floral styrofoam from Dollar Tree into 1" slices and pressed the wooden egg cups into the foam.

The packed cups were overflowing with the foam so I used heavy duty sandpaper to smooth the edges.

Next, on top of the floral foam I hot glued a few different kinds of moss.

I used green moss and Spanish moss.

I had faux succulents that I saved from a gift someone had given me at one time and hot glued the succulents to the top of the moss.

If you are more of a "real plant" person you can fill the wooden egg cups with dirt and plant a few real succulents.


Check out this succulent frame I made a while back with real succulents and an old frame.
