If you don’t have a knack for gardening and can't keep anything alive for more than a few days, then this DIY craft is for you. Succulents are a huge trend in home decor right now and, luckily, they are low maintenance as they can thrive in the simplest of environments. They can grow in almost anything, which makes these hand-painted tea cups the perfect container for displaying your succulents.
Decide on a design for your tea cup planter. Use a pencil to lightly sketch your design on your tea cup or use a cutting machine to cut out a vinyl stencil for your tea cup. Paint the design with your desired colors.
Once you’ve painted your tea cup use a clear satin varnish to seal the design and protect it.
Plant and arrange your succulents in the tea cup.
Put your beautiful new DIY Succulent Tea Cup Planter on display in your home.
You can decorate your home or your outdoor space with these trendy and easy to care for plants. These beautiful little plants would make great gifts too. Have the kids help you paint a DIY ceramic tea cup planter and give grandma a pretty plant for Mother’s Day. Or print out free printable “Thanks for Helping Me Grow” tags from Giggles Galore and give one to your kids’ teachers as an end of the year teacher gift. These DIY Succulent Tea Cup Planters are an inexpensive and fun way to add a little life to your home and decor.
