DIY: Succulent Tea Cups
Friday, September 3, 2010 at 4:42PM It's FRIDAY! Plans for the weekend: pick up my Oraganic Veggie Box, hit up the FYF Fest, help the BF finish up putting together his new place with some possible thrifting, a BBQ with friends on Labor Day... and suprisingly- I think I may have some down time in between! Nice. That means I have time for this- a little project I found on the blog Epherriall Designs... it's this great little DIY Succulent Teacup window garden. This will be perfect for my office- which at the moment has absolutely no plants in it, one large concrete wall, and a view of a Circle K across the street. What can I say? It's pretty amazing. But, I think it could use a little decor- and this idea sure will freshen up the space. The great thing is, it's very inexpensive and easy to do. Succulents are about a $1.00 each at your local garden store (or you can even try the 99¢ Store, they have them there on occassion) and cool vintage tea cups are super easy to find at Thrift Stores. So here it is guys, the simple succulent tea cup garden... Have a great weekend!

This is so cute, I love it! one question, does this really work in the long run, without a hole in the bottom for the water to drain?
I was wondering the same thing, do I need to drill a hole in the bottom first?
I am doing this for my wedding... And we are definitely drilling a hole in the bottom. Succulents need very well drainage to survive. I found the tea cups, my fiance is drilling holes in them with a special bit, and I just ordered 64 plants! Can;t wait to get them planted!
