Gather your supplies, along with an assortment of succulents. Make sure to cover your work space to make clean up easy!
First I took cut a piece of heavy watercolor paper in a circle to line the bottom of the cage. Then I cut the rim off a paper bowl and used my glue gun to cover the edges of the bowl with moss, letting it fall over into the bowl.
To plant the succulents, put a layer of stones in the bottom of the bowl/planter. On top of that add potting soil designed for succulents. It is very light and drains well. Wet soil is deadly for succulents.
Lastly, add the plants. Tucks some moss and stones in around to create a natural feel.
I finish it off by sitting the bowl into the cage and adding some moss to fill in any open spaces that show the bowl. Now you are ready to display!
