Crafting Your Succulent Shadow Box
Preparing Your Base
Trim the green floral foam so that it fits snugly inside your shadow box, but remember to leave a little wiggle room to accommodate the thickness of the nails.
Securing the Foam
Gently hammer in the leanest nails available—those that are sturdy enough to bond both the foam and the shadow box backing into a single, solid unit.
Succulent Placement
Visualize your green haven by arranging the faux succulents in a pleasing-to-the-eye manner. Push the stems into the floral foam and if they wobble or falter, a dab of glue from the hot glue gun will anchor them in place.
The Reveal
And just like that, your very own faux succulent decor is ready to grace a wall, mantel, or shelf with its verdant allure. No more steps. It’s time to unveil your creation.
