It’s time for our monthly Create With Me Challenge and this month is all about succulents.

Succulents are great because they require little care.

You don’t necessarily need a green thumb to grow them.

Also, they make some really good fake succulents, like the ones I used in my Galvanized Bucket Hanging Succulent Planter.

If you’ve visited here before you know I love farmhouse decor.

Nothing says farmhouse more than galvanized metal!

I had an appointment right next to Hobby Lobby, so of course I had to go in.

That place is seriously like Disneyworld to me.

I can spend hours there just browsing and getting ideas.

The metal was 50% off so this baby was only $5. 

Talk about a bargain. I scooped it up knowing it would be perfect for the succulents I  had at home.

Here is a quick and easy tutorial if you want to make your own succulent planter.

Cut the chicken wire with metal snips to the length and width that you need.

I cut it so it would only cover about half of the bucket, as I wanted it to show.

Fill the chicken wire with spanish moss and really pack it in so it is nice and full.

I used a full bag for this project.

Then just hot glue the succulents in a nice arrangement to ensure it is even and full.

I usually lay it out first to make sure I like it prior to hot glueing.

These succulents are very realistic looking and the best thing is-no watering!

I may put this on the covered deck once the weather is nicer.

To hang it I hot glued a soda can tab to the back.

It’s a great way to hang things like metal or ceramic-as long as it is not too heavy.
