DIY Succulent Dinosaur Planter

Geek girl gardeners rejoice, for today I bring you plastic dinosaurs and succulents.

Grr. Argh.

The best part is, it need not be a dinosaur – it can be any awesome soft-ish plastic toy you want or already have. Maybe your kids won’t notice you cutting up their toys…

This is Meg. We have not actually me yet, but she is a good friend of my sister’s, and a fellow bridesmaid in her wedding. Every time I see her photos pop up in my Facebook neewsfeed, I feel like we should be friends already. Although she is not an official blogger, she keeps coming up with these adorable little DIY projects around her house.

Meg makes magic

Perhaps she could be persuaded to do an official guest post segment on the blog here? I do love guest posters (hint hint!)

So how do you make her sweet little dino succulent planter? It’s as easy as 1 2 3.

• Step 1: Thrift some kid’s toys.
• Step 2: Buy succulents from Randolph Street Market (or a flea market, whatever).
• Step 3: Take knife to toy, shove in succulent. Planter!!!

What weird things have you planted succulents in?
