      I agree! What you do is amazing and, honestly we appreciate the mistakes. It helps us to better visualize what is needed to do a project correctly (so we can make different mistakes LOL). I think for peeps that might be intimidated by the metal framing (I just don’t want to invest in those kind of tools for a one off project at this time), river rocks would make a nice, organic feeling border to cover the wire as well

YOUR GIRL AND REAL PLANTS SPECIFICALLY FLOWERS ARENT ALWAYS FRIENDS AND I'VE READ SO MANY THINGS SAYING SUCCULENTS ARE EASY TO KEEP ALIVE AND TAKE CARE OF. THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN JUST STICKING THEM IN LITTLE POTS ON A TABLE OR THE RAILING ON MY PORCH! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!
    I love your DIY's! Their always so real and you don't try to act like everything's so easy and nothing wrong happens. Plus, you explain everything really well so us watching can try it for ourselves! I've tried a few different projects thanks to you and have loved doing them! You've helped me overcome my fear of the big daddy power tools (or what seemed like they were scary until I got one in my hand and did it and thought hell yah I can do this! Hahah
    Thanks pretty lady for the inspo and giving me the confidence and tips and tricks to try different wood projects!
    Lots of love from Mass,

  • @vintagejunktofunk4616

    I saw someone else make one just like this. I love succulents!!
    FYI Just a reminder next time wait TWO WEEKS before watering them because if any of the roots got damaged they will grow some kind of fungus or break off or something so you gotta wait two weeks to water after you transplant succulents. I didn’t know that either until my succulents started to die after I transplanted mine

    • @ireneramirez5705

    Wow, you are a great builder! I would recommend putting a metal stamped nail or tac on the wood where the metal is not overlapping. You can make it look like it was made that way for design purposes. It’s hardly noticeable and looks awesome!

    Thank you thank you thank you for keeping all your learning moments in. This is how people really learn. Being nervous or scared is natural, especially when there is a possibility of getting hurt. I want to start welding and I am both nervous and excited by the idea. Seeing you metal working when you are less than comfortable is encouraging and incredibly helpful to me, and others I am sure! Mistakes ARE progress though I know, believe me I know!, they do not feel that way. The little succulents are beautiful and hanging them up will be beautiful too.

    This is so, so cute! I love it. You are, basically, Wonder Woman. Watching you create these things and do your makeovers is so empowering! I love to see a strong, smart woman doing projects that were typically male-dominated. I also like to show my little girls your videos to inspire and empower them too. Also, I love that you are real - with your "mistakes" and your life situation. Coming off a breakup is devastating, in so many ways. Know that as much as I love your work and am so inspired by you, I am also sending you love and warm vibes for healing and hope in the days ahead. You have really huge and wonderful things ahead for you, I can feel it. Hope you are feeling 100% soon.

    It got me nervous when you were cutting metal with that blade...but then I realized you know what you are doing. The moss makes such a diffidence. I love moss and ferns but here in Chennai,(India)it is just impossible to grow them. I tried and failed a lot of times. But its in deed a cool idea to hang succulents like that. I have been watching you channel since the very beginning and I know that you will surprise us...with full of energy...and lots of new ideas as always!

I did hot glue which worked fine (obvo not in direct light) and a crap ton of succulents. It's lighter weight, and you can hang immediately afterward. Since it doesn't have soil you have to water more often (once a week) Much love
