Easter Egg Succulent Planter

March 20, 2017 by Holly Gagnon 1 Comment

I’ve been totally in love with faux Succulents lately.  Recently, I received a huge box full gorgeous, faux succulents from FloraCraft® .   OMGee , it was like the I had a succulent explosion in my house.  They are now everywhere.  Stuck in n pots, vases, crates, baskets.   I just really like them.  To continue with my love of faux succulents in to my Easter decor, I made a Easter Egg Succulent Egg Planter using a FloraCraft® Make It: Fun  Foam Egg.

Totally adorable!  Why would you ever want to use real succulents when these faux ones look so real?

Cutting Foam Egg with styro knife

To make the Easter Egg Succulent Egg Planter, I used a FloraCraft® Make It: Fun  Foam Cutter to cut a  6″  Foam Egg around the crack lined I had sketched out around the center.

Smooth Finish and Foam Egg

 

After the egg was cut out, I applied a couple of coats of  FloraCraft® Make It: Fun  Smooth Finish all over the egg.

 

Smooth Finish Sandpaper and Foam Egg

 

After the smooth finish was dried, I used sandpaper to make the egg surface smooth.

When I was happy with the smooth finish of the egg, I painted the inside yellow, the outside a shade of pink then painted a gold stripe around the center.

 

White Pearl Stick Pins and Foam Egg

 

To give the Easter Egg Succulent Egg Planter a little more dimension, I stuck white pearl stick pins around the gold band and on top of the egg.  Kinda Fabergé   like, right?

Succulent Picks from FloraCraft

If you have never used these these FloraCraft®Succulents Picks you must get some.  The faux succulents look so real and were really easy to work with too.

    Remember how I teased yesterday that I had some amazing projects coming up? Well, today is one that I am especially in love with. I mean how can you go wrong with pops of color, gold, marble, and succulents? I just don t think that it s possible! And, to top it off, these little planters are made with plastic Easter eggs and cost under $0.50 to make! What?! Seriously, how does it get any better?
