This is an optional step that departs from the inspiration piece, but I decided to finish my arrangement with a length of sisal for a rustic, farmhouse look. There’s no need to glue the moss, because the plants generally hold it in place. If I wanted this to be a more permanent piece (or was gifting it), I would drizzle hot glue on the stems as I placed them. This lets me disassemble it if I ever choose to use the plants in a different project. There’s no right or wrong way to do this!įor my own purposes, I simply pushed the stems into the foam center in my jar. Mix and match until you’ve arrived at a pleasing combination. Choose a variety of textures: smooth, leafy plants, spikey ones, clusters of buds. I find it easiest to begin by placing any plants that I want to trail over the side, then moving on to the larger feature plants. If you’re using other faux succulent picks, trim and bend the stems as necessary. The dollar store plants are just glued in styrofoam, so they pull out fairly easily, leaving a nice little stem. Don’t panic if tiny bits of foam peeks through, though: you’ll likely never notice after it’s all assembled! Put another little pinch of moss on top so foam doesn’t show between your plants, either. I found it helpful to use my kitchen knife to help push the moss around the corners of the block to make sure it’s all covered. Stuff as much as possible around the foam block. You don’t want the foam to show at all, so put a good pinch of moss in the bottom of the jar under the foam. Floral foam is super to cut with a kitchen knife, so slice off a piece that leaves enough room to stuff the moss filler all the way around it. That’s also my go-to spot for floral foam and moss filler. I still had a pile of plants left from my Faux Succulent Ring Mold Wreath, and I grabbed a couple more smaller-scale varieties from the dollar store just to cover my bases. I have a whole box of vintage jelly jars given to me by my father-in-law (including some with a diamond pattern similar to the inspiration piece), but these are typically available at thrift stores for pocket change. Obviously, this project requires faux succulent plants, filler, and a clear jar. But best, I knew I could DIY the look with materials I already had in my craft stash…in fact, it only takes four simple steps! Michael’s Knockoff Faux Succulent Jar DIY
