Easy Succulent Centerpiece Table Decoration

 Easy Succulent Centerpiece Table Decoration

Create a beautiful and low-maintenance centerpiece for your table with this easy DIY faux succulent decoration. Perfect for adding a touch of greenery to any space without the need for watering or maintenance.



Hello! I'm so happy that you decided to check out this easy succulent decoration project. 
 I was inspired to create this centerpiece after my sister mentioned she was looking at purchasing a succulent wax burner.  So my design does not include a wax burner, but if you stick around I'll tell you how you can create your very own succulent centerpiece table decoration. 

Materials Needed

❤ Artificial Succulents and a flower 
For my design, I used 4 succulent plants
I purchased my  artificial succulents from my local Walmart
(Make sure to check your local dollar store as well)

❤ A wooden bowl
I purchased my wooden bowl at Walmart. 
You can actually find any container of your choice at your local craft store

❤ A package of craft rocks
My rocks were purchased at Walmart, but you can try shopping at your local dollar store, or craft store.

❤ Assorted green glass rocks
I purchased these at my local Dollar Tree

❤ One battery-operated candle

Optional

Glue- this is for gluing down a middle piece to hold your candle. I'll explain more about this later

A pot- I used a plastic pot from when I purchased my pepper plant.

Spray paint- this is only used if you are using a middle piece for your candle




Creating your succulent decor

Start off with positioning where you would like your candle to go inside your bowl.
I placed my candle in the middle of the bowl. Once you have done this step, take your candle, and place it inside your pot. (I used a plastic pot and applied glue over the bottom section. This will allow you to glue the pot to the bottom of your bowl, and this will make an easy insert for your candle.)
I did this step because I did not want rocks to slide every time I took my candle out to turn it off and on. Using this pot for your candle to be inserted will eliminate rocks from filling the center of your bowl. It creates a barrier around your candle.

Once you have made sure that your candle will fit inside your pot, take some spray paint and paint your pot. (This step will also depend on which pot you are using.)
If you already have a pot with a color you would like, simply skip the spray paint step.
After spray painting your pot, add it to your bowl. If you are using a pot that has some weight to it, you can skip the glue step. Once you have added your bowl inside your pot, add in your rocks. Make sure to fill your rocks up to the top part of your pot. 

Insert your candle, and add in a few of your glass rocks. Take your succulents, and arrange them around your candle. Take your succulents and poke them through the rocks. I added a few white flowers around my succulents. I thought this helped to bring a little more softness to my centerpiece. 

You're all done! It really is a simple DIY project, and it looks absolutely beautiful. You can add this to any room in your home.  The cost for this project was around $25. I'm sure you can come in at a lower price if you find your items discounted. 

I hope you have enjoyed this simple DIY project! If you end up making this, please let me know! I'd love to hear how your centerpiece turns out!

  4. That's really pretty and I love how easily it can be customized to different styles. My office is all black, red and white, and I bet a black pot and opting for the reddish tone succulents would make this a great option for the accent table in there. I'm going to have to give it a try! The table looks so bare right now... it needs something lol

  7. Totally off topic here, but I'm pretty sure we have the exact same area rug. Lol. You have good taste! I love how simple this project is to create, and how customizable it is as well. With being able to use any bowl or even colored glass beads, it can be made to fit a certain style or room, and be beautiful. These would make wonderful homemade gifts too.

  9. That's lovely, having the pot for the candle sunk right down in the rocks makes it really secure and balances it all nicely somehow.

    1. Thank you! Yes, I tried it without using the pot, and of course all of the rocks started to sink down. I figured in order to be able to switch on my LED candle without the rocks sinking in, I would have to add in a pot. It worked out great in the end. Thank you so much for stopping by.

  12. This is lovely. Even living in the desert, we have some faux succulents as decor in the house because let's just say if plants survive it's by accident. Featuring when my link party opens!

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
