7 Upcycled Containers For A Trendy Succulent Display

R Seapt

Right now, succulents seem to be one of the top ways to upgrade any space. Creating a dream succulent display for your home doesn't have to cost you. Turn trash into treasure by repurposing items you already have. Here are 7 items you already have in your home that make prefect succulent containers:

1. Mason jars

Since Mason jars are all the rage right now, it's pretty obvious that they've ranked at the top of our list. Despite the fact that these jars look like a million bucks, you can actually purchase them pretty affordably at most major retailers.

To upgrade to a new level of trendy, take some twine and super glue and wrap that shit up.

2. Candles

After you've burned through your favorite scent, give your candle a second life by repurposing the container as a succulent holder. To remove wax, microwave until wax becomes liquid, dump it out and wipe excess with a paper towel.

3. Jewelry boxes

Upcycle things like this leather Michael Khors watch box into the trendiest of succulent boxes. Designer plant anyone?

4. Candy holder

Already super cute. Now it's super cuter.

5. Pasta (or other food) jar

Everyone has to eat. Turning old food containers is an easy way to create on a budget. If you don't have enough succulent soil, grab some rocks!

6. Wooden boxes

Take trinket holders and old post-it note receptacles and give them a chance for beauty as a succulent home. If you have no such luck in your own home, trendy boxes, http://www.michaels.com/square-whitewashed-wood-box-by-artminds/10409357.htmllike this one, can be purchased at most craft stores.

7. Goodwill finds

Venture into the dish ware section of your favorite thrift store and pick out some 75¢ glassware.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
