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!
Supplies:
Wood Egg Cups
Acrylic Paint*
Paint Brushes
Painters Tape
Mini Succulents
*Paint used is DecoArt in Watermelon Slice, Peacock Teal and Grey Storm.
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.
Three: Add the succulents and your done!
Planting the little succulents in these wooden egg cups allows for easy gifting or use as favors at your next social gathering or dinner party (don’t forget Mother’s Day this coming weekend, too). They’ll hold up for a while with sprinkles of water in these small planters; however, they’ll definitely need to be repotted.
Here’s to succulents and mini planters.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Happy Creating, friends. xo

SUCH a cute idea Kelly! LOVE the bright colours!
Thanks Kristi! Aren’t the colors perfect for this time of year? You should make a couple for yourself. 😉 Enjoy the rest of your week. xo.
You already know how much I love miniature things and I am madly in love with your mini succulent planters! Those wooden egg cups are adorable.
Thanks Jen! They are pretty adorable, right? …and were so easy to paint and plant the succulents in. You must give these a try. 🙂 HUGS!
Those wood egg cups are adorable and using them as mini succulent planters is such a great idea! I’ve included your post in my Five on Friday roundup this week 🙂
Thanks so much Emily! It was such a fun “mini” project. 🙂 I appreciate you including me on your Round-Up as well! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo.
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!
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.
