Clay Succulent Craft

Succulents are quite popular among plant enthusiasts for being easy to care for – basically, it’s the only plant I can keep alive. They are so pretty, too, no matter where you place them as long as they are receiving adequate light, even I can maintain a succulent…

Making a miniature of these succulents is a fun project. You’ll enjoy it for sure.

These mini clay succulents are great trinkets. Place them beside your real succulents, include them in your fairy garden, or just have them displayed on your table or shelf. They’ll look cool anywhere.

Oh! I made this Witch Fairy House. It would look cute with the clay succulents, too, LOL!

Then form the balls into cylinder shapes for pots.

Poke a hole in the top with a toothpick and use a clay tool to press indents for eyes.

Roll 6 tiny black balls for eyes.

Then bake the clay as directed in the oven. This is where you use the parchment paper and the tray.

Once the clay has cooled, glue the eyes into the indents.

Paint a white dot on each eye (you can use a pin head or a toothpick end) and then seal with mod podge.

Using a toothpick, place each plant into the top of the plant pot.
