Happy May! I’m just soaking up this heat wave that’s passing through Maryland and hoping it stays until fall. To celebrate, I’m using a new material that reminds me of my Caribbean roots and patio weather – rattan! These DIY Faux Succulent Rattan Planters will sit prettily on your desk or shelves with a pop of color and texture. Want to make your own? Read on for the tutorial!

Instructions – DIY Faux Succulent Rattan Planters

1. Use your pencil to trace one side of your succulent planter on to the colored cardstock
2. Repeat for as many sides of planters you have (I did not do the bottoms of the planters)
3. Cut the shapes out
4. Do the same for the cane webbing (rattan) – trace the shapes and cut each out
5. Glue the cardstock to the planters
6. Glue the cane webbing (rattan) to the cardstock – I used the lighter side of the rattan to face outward

And you are done! A quick and pretty way to dress up your desk or shelf! Tell me in the comments below – which colors will you use?
