Want to know what to do with all those beautiful felt succulents you just made? Well, The Crafty Lefty is here to show you 5 different ways you can use them or display them in your home!
Our last and final succulent is here to finish out our DIY Felt Succulent Series! While this succulent might be the most time consuming to create, the end result is worth it, I promise! Let The Crafty Lefty show you how to make this felt succulent from scratch!
This is the 4th felt succulent tutorial in our series, and by far, the easiest succulent to create. Just takes some simple folding work – almost like felt origami – to craft this cluster succulent. Go ahead. Give it a try. I promise you won’t succ-ulent.
For our third succulent, we will be using a felt flower template I found on Pinterest. I thought the design could be used for a felt succulent, especially if you’re doing a cluster display with several other types of felt succulents. Also, this layered felt succulent makes a nice contrast with the roses and star succulents we’ve been making so far in our Succulent Series. Whether you are adding your succulents to a wreath, to a terrarium, or to a vase, this layered succulent will be a great addition to your felt succulent collection!
