Here’s how to make DIY Succulent Favors:

You will need:

  • Vintage Glass Containers
  • Potting Soil
  • Succulents
  • Trowel
  • Colored Sand or pebbles (optional)

We used Hens and Chicks wedding succulents because they were WAY more affordable than other varities. We purchased a 12 pack for $10. Other varieties of succulents at our local nursery were $5-$10 each!!
