Some crafts with plants

Over the holiday I made some interesting plant holders.

First, I saw an idea on Pinterest that looked like this:

I know I have lots of wire...

Air plant kind of grows wild in my backyard...

You would think I had enough rocks, too, but I wanted a nice crystal.
I had seen similar crystals at Michael's, but when I went, there weren't any I liked.

I did find a big chunk of glass in the same part of the store.

It was pretty simple to attach a wire to the rock:

This is what I ended up with:

I also ended up with a large pale spider that escaped into my room.

Before I bought the glass rock, I looked around the house for other plants and containers that I could use in a similar way.
I had this great big shell that I got at the shell store at Seal Beach.

It's not a conch but very similar.

I also have a lot of these succulents growing on their own outside:

Last year I put little cuttings into tiny containers with gravel.
I didn't water them so they died.

Here are the new little plants I picked out.

I still had the same gravel so I put that in the shell.

I thought about using air plant, but I put the succulents here instead.
Here's what it looks like with the plants in the shell!

I hope I don't forget to water them this time!

I have a lot of left-over plants, so I might continue to make this craft.
Also, I'm determined to find a nice crystal thing!
