Birdhouse planters filled with succulents put us in the mood for spring.

My friend Jeanine suggested we make wall planters with succulents, I was inspired.
I’m thinking spring, ever since Jonas dropped a pile of snow around us. So when my friend Jeanine from AphroChic suggested that we make wall planters with succulents, I was inspired to ‘make it mine.’ If you are curious about Jeanine’s project, head over to this post ‘Let’s make garden wall art.’
There are a few reasons why I love using succulents in my home. It’s almost impossible to kill a succulent, they are inexpensive, are available in a variety of colors and shapes, and they will thrive in a range of indoor conditions. But, I’m kind of smitten by their nickname: ‘fat plant.’
Why are succulents called ‘fat plants’? Because they contain water and then swell up. As a woman, I can totally relate to this phenomenon, and it definitely charms me.
So here’s my friend Jeanine’s project, but with my own twist.
Supplies you’ll need:
birdhouses, either pre-made or a kit
spray paint (or paint and paint brushes)
soil
oscillating tool
screws (or nails)
impact driver (or hammer)
Gorilla tape
pebbles or small stones
Steps:
Cut hole into the top of the birdhouse.
Paint and decorate the birdhouse.
Line the inside of the birdhouse with Gorilla tape.
