Now that we’ve made all these beautiful felt succulents, what can we do with them?!? Enter, 5 ways to display felt succulents around your house.
Didja miss all the DIY tutorials we did with our Felt Succulents Series?? No worries, you can find all the links for our 5 different felt succulents below. All of the templates are FREE — and links for each template can be found in each post. Just click on the name of the succulent or the pic itself to go to each DIY Tutorial. Links to the FREE video tutorial are there, too.
Okay, so now that we’ve made the succulents, where are you going to put them? I mean they are too damn cute not to display, right?? So, I came up with 5 unique ways to show off your felt succulents.
1. Picture Frame – I loved this way of displaying them! The first thing you’ll do is pick a nice frame that has a large border. If the frame has some kind of texture to it that’s even better because then the succulents will stand out more. The size of the frame will depend on how many succulents you want to display inside. The first thing you will do is remove the glass inside the frame.
Then, put the frame backing in place and secure with those little frame shutters. Now, you have a decision to make. Do you want to permanently use this frame for succulents, or do you want it to be removable? If you are hanging your frame on the wall, I suggest using hot glue to adhere the back of your succulents to the frame. If it will be lying on a table (as in a centerpiece) then you can simply place your succulents inside and remove them when you want to do something different with them.This is what my finished frame looked like:
2. Vase – This is a great way to make use of those super cute vases (that don’t have a water hole at the bottom, so you can’t use them for real plants) that are just sitting empty in your closet. The other cool thing about vases is that you can be super creative with them. You can add just one dainty succulent to a mini vase or add several to a larger vase. Check out the image below:
Below, I’ve provided step-by-step images of how you can dress up a vase with your felt succulents.
3. Wreath – This is a relatively easy way to display your felt succulents. I used a grapevine wreath for this display since I think succulents go well with the rustic vibe.
Then, you’ll just place the succulents you want to use on the wreath. I didn’t want to cover the entire wreath with succulents because I wanted the wreath to show, so I only placed my succulents on opposite sides of the wreath. Once you’re happy with the way it looks, use hot glue to adhere your succulents to the wreath. This is how it came out:
4. Terrarium/Mini Greenhouse – So I got this idea from browsing through the Crafty Trinity (Joann’s, Michael’s and Hobby Lobby) and noticing how many darn cute containers they have — year round. I kept trying to think of what I could put in there besides just small candles or pretty stones. When I made my felt succulents, I thought it would be the perfect way to display them in my house. Bonus — don’t have to worry about them getting dusty! Here’s what I did:
5. Wrapping Paper – So I know this is a lot to do for a gift, but if the recipient/occasion is special enough, why the f not?? Bonus –> your special someone will get the added surprise of using one of your succulents to then display somewhere in their home. Pay it forward, succulent style. So here’s what I did:
And that’s it! I hope you liked these 5 ways of displaying your felt succulents in your home. Please leave me a comment if there’s another way you like to display your succulents. Until next time…keep it crafty!
