Easter Egg Succulent Planter

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?

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.

 

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

 

 

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?

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.

 

 

 

 

This Easter Egg Succulent Planter is a simple Spring craft idea that can be easily made to coordinate with any Easter decor.
