Succulent Supplies

To create your succulent ornament you will need burlap, twine, floral wire, succulents and soil. You can transplant succulents, or use clippings from an established plant.

Soil

Choose a well aerated potting mix that drains well to begin your succulent ornament. Create a pile of dirt a little larger than you want your final ball to be, and cut a square of burlap large enough to wrap around it.

Create the Base

Wrap the burlap tightly around the potting mix, packing it into a sphere. Trim off any excess burlap, and wrap with twine to hold the burlap in place. Secure a long piece of twine or ribbon to the top of the ball for hanging later.
