As you all know, my favorite plants in all the world are succulents. I love 'em in big, statement-piece hanging gardens and I especially love them in tiny, magnetized terrarium form. But these candlesticks-turned-planters might be my favorite DIY succulent containers yet!
After a trip to the Palace of Ultimate DIY Potential, aka IKEA, Alex Michael from We See Rainbows came home with a set of funky candle holders. Armed with some creative vision and a can of spray paint, she transformed them into colorful, paint-dipped, succulent-sized planters! Niclely done, Alex. Nicely done indeed!
