DIY Crafting

You Are:

A natural hand-crafted with a penchant for plants to liven up your décor. Nothing injects life into indoor spaces like plants fresh from Mother Nature’s garden. And while your neighbourhood nursery is teeming with plant life in every variety under the sun, some are easier to care for than others.

An easy-care option that thrives indoors, Succulents are the perfect ornamental for the hands-off horticulturalists. With thick, sturdy stems and fleshy, water-storing leaves, succulents survive just fine with minimal watering and direct light. But once you get them home, they’ll need a home of their own.

TIP:

For best results choose a planter material that hasn’t been fired with a clear enamel coat. A Sharpie® permanent marker is just the thing with our easy DIY Succulent Planters. A fast, fun way to add bright colour and artful design to complement the plants’ soothing greens, Sharpie Succulent Planters are a cinch to create in about 30 minutes with a handful of inexpensive materials.
