Spring is right around the corner (so they say) and I couldn’t be cheering any louder! BRING IT ON! …with a spring succulents arrangement!
Spring always makes me want to open the windows, let in fresh air, and bring a bit of new life into every room, even the smallest corner. One simple way to add seasonal charm is with a spring succulent arrangement, like these tiny succulents tucked into hand-painted robin’s egg shells that feel playful and bright. Whether you’re crafting for your dining table, shelf, or entryway, this project adds a touch of greenery and personality without a lot of fuss. Let’s walk through how to make yours and get a fresh seasonal look started.
After the gloom of winter, I’m ready for happy spring buds and bouquets and freshening up each room with some happiness and color. How about you?
Okay, on to the spring succulents arrangement tutorial and pretty decorative accents, eh?
Succulent arrangements are a perfect spring decorating idea because they combine easy-to-style plant elements with seasonal color and texture. Unlike traditional spring flowers, succulents require minimal care and stay beautiful year-round with just bright light and light watering, making them ideal for apartment spaces, home offices, or gifts. Mixing succulents of different shapes, sizes, and tones can create a balanced and eye-catching display that fits anywhere from a dining table centerpiece to a cozy mantel vignette. That said, I opted for the no-maintenance faux succulents.
spring succulents arrangement
(or succulent robin’s eggs and no, that’s not a recipe for breakfast)
What I used:
- paper mache´eggs
- acrylic craft paint (robin’s egg blue and something dark like espresso brown)
- paint brushes (one with short bristles)
- X-acto knife/utility knife
- faux mini-succulents
- optional: hot glue
- decorative accessories: ceramic egg crate, pitcher/vase, your choice of gorgeous blooms from the floral dept.
What I did:
I ‘cracked’ my paper mache´ eggs using an X-acto knife, cutting them in half with a zigzag pattern.
I pulled them apart. If the paper pulls away, great! If it stays attached, great! Go with the flow. Mine pulled off. I used the plastic layer instead.
Color the outside of the eggshells with paint and let dry.
This next step is messy. Apply dark paint to a short bristled paint brush. Using your finger to fan the bristles, splatter dark paint onto the outside of the eggshells. My brush had longer bristles, so I got more of a 1980’s splattered paint look but it’s okay! And again, you’ll make a mess. Brown paint isn’t pretty under your fingernails either. But it does wash off. Let paint speckles/splatters dry.
Then fill eggshells with succulents. Hot glue if desired. Place into the pretty ceramic egg crate or a nest. Tuck them in floral arrangements. Decorate for spring! So cute!
Awe, look…newly hatched spring succulents! So proud!
