I was trying to think of some fun containers for more succulents. So I went to the thrift store and came across some vintage baking tins. They cost from $.50-$1.50. I purchased succulents from my local garden shop. They ranged from $2- $4 per container. The contrast of the greens of the plants with the aged metal of the baking tins really work well together.
I drilled holes in the tins for drainage.
These succulents were a great idea for the muffin tins. I could pull them apart and I've got 4 plants from each pot. So in essence, $1/plant.
I added some little pebbles over the soil. Looks great, doesn't it?
For the jelly roll tin, I bought an assortment of succulents and just planted them throughout. I allowed a bit of space for growth.
Again, add some decorative pebbles and it looks quite charming. For the jelly roll pan, you could put a candle in the middle and that would make a fun centerpiece. Or even a bigger planted pot in the middle. It's fun to think what containers can be reused and repurposed for creative purposes. What can you come up with?
These are so totally adorable! I'm definitely making a few of these and what a great idea for a hostess gift - especially someone throwing a summer party! Pinned as well!
