Felt Succulents

Felt Succulents
Felt Succulents

Succulents are naturally low maintenance plants, but these felt succulents are 100% maintenance free!  You don't have to remember to water these little guys and they won't mind at all!

I just can't tell you how much I love these cute little felt plants!  I saw them on Pinterest of course and the very same day Pin Junkie Jr. brought home some beautiful ceramic pots he made in his ceramics class.  I took one look at those pots and I immediately got out my glue gun and started cutting felt.

Keri at Shaken Together is the one who came up with this clever project and she says not to worry about cutting out each leaf exactly the same.  Don't worry about trying to achieve perfection while making these felt succulents.  The variation will make them look more natural.  They're very simple to make.  Just cut out pieces of felt and glue together.  You don't even need a pattern.  

For this project you will need:
felt
scissors
glue gun
rocks
small pots or other small containers

Felt Succulents

I've always called these particular succulents Hens and Chicks.  The first plant I attempted to make was too flat and looked more like a lily pad, but the second attempt yielded better results.  Don't they look like the real thing?

Felt Succulent

I love how they sit in those pretty little pots!

I think these are as cute as can be! 
Would you have fake plants in your home, or do you prefer real ones?
