26 notes

Materials Needed: 1. Vintage milk glass container (bowl, vase, or cup whatever you find and love) if you cannot find milk glass you can even use an up-cycled candle jar. You can find milk glass at thrift shops or antique stores. Milk glass is opaque, milky white glass that has some translucence. It has a shine and life to it. 2. Small pebbles or rocks for drainage. 3. Potting soil 4. Moss (something to top it off, orchid moss, lichen, ground moss) To get the look above, lay around one to two inches of small rocks or pebbles in the base of your container. Fill the container almost to the top with potting soil. Allow enough room for your succulents. Place your succulents in the arrangement you desire and fill the remaining space with more soil and lightly pack it down. For a finishing touch cover the dirt with a moss of your choice. You can find moss like this at Home Depot Hardware or Lowe’s or your local craft store. Another option if you cannot find milk glass you can use a recycled candle glass and update it by adding burlap, ribbon or lace. You can be creative in the way you display you’re arrangement. Use lots of color, contrast, just have fun with it.(Source.)
