Faux Succulent Wreath DIY Arrangement I love succulents--do you? They are adorable little plants that are chubby and full of personality. I've tried my best to raise plants in my home...but to no avail. I've got the blackest thumb...I've had bamboo, cactus and succulents all die. It makes me feel so sad...like I've killed a living soul. In order to enjoy the beauty of succulents without the guilt of killing them, I've switched to using faux succulents. There's quite a few that look really close to the real thing, so it's a nice way to craft with greenery and add some sunshine to your home.
