Faux Succulent and Wood Blocks Install

August 14, 2018 by Jessica Leave a Comment


A while back I came across these cute faux succulents that were on clearance at Target. For only a dollar something each, I just went ahead and got them. Didn’t need them at that moment per say, but it was such a good deal and it’s something I figured I could use at some point. Then came time to decorate this foyer area. I also happened to come across this amazing wall install by Britney Jay  {here} and knew it was something I could use the succulents for. So I used up using some leftover wood I had in my garage and the succulents and got to making.


I laid out my pieces and made sure the wood grains were all going the same way. Then I taped the middle ones so I could half stain half paint them. I used Minwax Dark Walnut to stain. Then I used a texture paste I had in my craft closet to create a fun textured look for the ones that would be painted. Then once painted white, I lightly used some gold paint to go over edges and ridges for added depth.


I initially used a construction adhesive to glue on the succulents, but some fell off. I thought it would be a really strong way to hold them in place, but it wasn’t. At that point I just used a hot glue gun and that seemed to do the trick. I also ended up using my nail gun to attach the wood to the wall since this was in a kids area. It makes them super secure and then they are flat on the wall. You could of course use a different mounting technique that is easier to remove them if you wanted. I think it is something that would be really cute as home decor too. And you can play around with the size of wood and plants you use to create a one of a kind look.

Also, see that cute bench? My amazing friend Ashley made that! It was the perfect touch for this waiting area. And the two pillows are covers and inserts from Hobby Lobby for anyone interested in that info. -jess
