Oh, succulents!
Who’s crazy about these types of plants? Well, other than myself, I mean.
Aside from the fact that they are not high maintenance, looking at these colorful plants really helps a lot in finding relaxation and in taking a breather from all the chaos from school, work, and life, in general.
While they provide a lot of stress relief, taking care of succulents can also be another venue for people to nurture their creativity. How? By making unique planters that would hold these beauties. And making these planters does not have to be expensive at all! In fact, you can use items in your home and transform them into stunning succulent planters.
1. Teacup planter
If you have teacups that are too old to be used for serving tea or with broken parts, then you have the perfect materials for a teacup planter. Small succulents can fit right into these lovely cups. You can be even more creative by painting designs that you love onto the cups.
2. Chair planter
Old chairs not strong enough to be sat on can be re-purposed into succulent chair planters. This idea is also perfect if you also have tiny children’s chairs that are not used anymore. Painting them into colors you love will also add to this project’s charm.
3. Wine box planter

6. Wheelbarrow planter
Wow, this is such a beauty! Old wheelbarrows that are too rusty to be actually used in gardening can actually be upcycled to serve as succulent planters that give your garden a vintage country vibe. The best part? It is as mobile as any other handheld planter!
