Succulents are a cute and easy way to add some green to your living space, but, as with any plant, they can die quickly if you don’t take care of them properly. With this DIY project, you don’t have to worry about water, sunlight or fertilizer, but you still end up with a cute succulent that adds to your decor.
This realistic-looking felt succulent can be made in no time and requires just a few simple craft items. For a small pot, create just one succulent. For a larger one, create several in different colors. Check out the instructions and video to see how you can make these substitute succulents.
