Ever since meeting and working with Cassidy Tuttle of Succulents and Sunshine last year, I’m always thinking about how I can work some succulents into my life. Last year we did a series of succulent based Halloween projects (like the top image). She recently developed a planter that helps succulents thrive and she’s released a kickstarter campaign to help her bring it to you. I’m so excited for her! Check it out here. Here are a few other DIY succulent projects for your home:

For some reason, crocheting and knitting are two craft skills that I learn over and over, forget, them relearn. They just don’t stick! But these projects make me want to pick it up again.

Over the weekend I found some really beautiful frames from a consignment store. Though I’m thrilled with my new purchases, I was reminded at how expensive it is to find really great frames–and mine were even rather cheap. I mean, you have a piece of art, which is already most likely pricey, and THEN you must find something amazing to show it off in. As I was looking around the interwebs I found a few DIY solutions that are fun and won’t break the bank and you can make yourself. Score!
