\"DIY<\/p>\n

I’ve been propagating baby succulents from the plants in my garden and thought it would be fun to make little mini planters to display them in. If you’ve never propagated succulents you can find some easy instructions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had a little bit of polymer clay leftover from a couple of projects in my soon to be released craft book<\/a>, it’s a very versatile material and perfect for making small creative objects.<\/p>\n

These mini planters are loosely inspired by mid-century ceramics and would be perfect to display in a doll house or as part of a little vignette. I’m sure kids would love to make a few of these to give as gifts.<\/p>\n

Succulents are pretty hardy so a few drops of water about once a week should be all that’s required to keep them healthy. If the plants start to grow too large, just transfer them into a larger container.<\/p>\n
