Succulents. They truly make my heart sing. How do you feel about them? My very first one was planted in a DIY Dish Garden. It’s growing and thriving on the window sill by my kitchen sink. I now have several succulents and I’m always eager to add more to our home. Then I spotted some mini planters on Etsy and couldn’t resist making them into Mini Succulent Planters for favors or gifts!
Oh my sweet goodness. I am in love!

I don’t think I mentioned this earlier — but, these little cuties are incredibly easy. You could pull these together in about 15-20 minutes. Score! Let’s see how you can make your own in three easy steps.
One: Use the painters tape to indicate your paint area.
Two: Paint your wooden egg cup.

Here’s to succulents and mini planters.

These are so cute, Kelly! A friend recently snipped off some leaves from her succulents for me to start and they’re growing beautifully, but in those terrible plastic starter containers from a home goods store. Would love to transfer them to something as pretty as these. Thanks for the inspiration!
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks Jelli! I appreciate it. You should transfer one or two to these. They are super easy to do. 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo.

Kelly Rowe says
Aw, thanks so much Marie! I appreciate it. These little cuties certainly have a way of brightening a room. 🙂 Have a GREAT weekend! xo.
Carolyn K says
How deep do the egg cups have to be? I want to make sure that the succulent has enough soil.
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Carolyn. I used a standard egg cup since these were mainly for favors/gifting and would need to be replanted. Hope that helps. Have a great day!
