How to make a succulent centerpiece


I have been dying to get in on this succulent action ever since a wedding we attended last year! Our friends had handcrafted their own centerpieces filled with gorgeous succulents and needless to say, I was drooling.... Over the Labor Day Weekend, since the little one and man were away, momma decided to get crafty and see if I could recreate the same look. {and i'm happy to say it was way easier than i'd anticipated it being!} 

Since I have what's known as a "brown thumb" I was apprehensive about the idea of having to plant my own succulents at first....i've embarrassingly never planted a single thing in my entire life. {That, and, i'm also sort of a serial killer of all plant life despite my best efforts} But apart from being a little messy it wasn't difficult {and actually I can totally see now why gardening is so therapeutic...i felt like a protective mama bear as i carefully got them all set up and safe} And with each succulent costing only $3-$5 a piece, this project was fun and affordable to do! Plus I have heard that these little guys are the most resilient plantlife out there....so maybe I can finally break this curse of mine...
