How to Make a Shell Full of Succulents
You will need:
-A large shell (I bought mine at a home decorating store they are also often at craft stores or souvenir shops by the beach )
-Cactus soil
-Small Succulents (They can be bought or snipped off of a mature succulent plant)
-Small smooth river stones (can be bought at home supply or craft store)
-Tacky glue
How To:
Fill the large shell with soil. Fill the shell with as much soil as possible. Pack soil in and repeat. Using a spoon, dig little pockets into the soil and insert succulents. Pack in as many succulent clippings as you can. Towards the opening of my shell, I feared the soil would seep out when I watered it, so I took the stones and wedged them tightly into the opening of the shell. I then took the tacky glue and glue them in place to create a little barrier to hold the soil in. Its not airtight or very sturdy, but it should hold the soil in place. Place some remaining stones on top for decoration!
