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

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.
