Faux Succulent Wreath

Updated on April 13, 2024

Faux Succulent Wreath. Make this spring succulent wreath for a Mother’s Day gift or your own home decor. It is a quick and inexpensive gift idea.

Succulents are so popular right now. They are relatively easy to care for and can be planted in many different shallow containers and terrariums that normal houseplants cannot.

They are so popular that you can even find faux versions at stores like Dollar Tree. Today, I will show you how to create your own faux succulent wreath using supplies from the dollar store.

How to Make a Faux Succulent Wreath

This wreath makes a beautiful home decor piece perfect for gifting for Mother’s Day. And since the succulents are not real, you will be able to create the wreath ahead of time in just minutes.

Supplies:

• 10″ Green Foam Wreath
• Burlap
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Faux succulent plants

Wrap the Wreath in Burlap

To start, add a little bit of hot glue to the back of the wreath to secure the burlap onto the wreath.

Wrap the burlap around the wreath, pulling it tight as you go. The 9 feet of burlap was the perfect amount for my wreath form to wrap the entire 10″ wreath. As you can see in the photo, I tried to overlap the burlap in the middle of the piece before it.

Note: If your wreath form is larger or smaller, or you wrap your burlap closer together you may need more or less burlap than I used for my project.

About halfway through wrapping the wreath, I secured the burlap using a little more hot glue so that the wrapping would stay tight. When you reach the end of your wreath, fold the end over and use hot glue to secure the loose end of the burlap to the wreath.

Glue Succulents to Wreath

Trim the long stems off all your succulents using scissors or wire cutters.

Use hot glue to secure your succulents to the burlap wreath in the design of your choice.

I always try to work in uneven numbers when creating wreaths, as it is more pleasing to the eye. My wreath has seven succulent plants on it.

I often have difficulty knowing what to give as gifts on Mother’s Day since our moms have pretty much everything they need. Beautiful, inexpensive home decor is the perfect gift idea that will never fade.
