Succulents, they have been popping up in my social media feeds for a while now. What is a succulent you ask, they are cute little (and some not so little!) plants with thick, fleshy leaves (for retaining water) that come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. From simple single pots to elaborate vertical gardens, I often find myself wishing I had a green thumb so that I could accomplish the same look in our home. Besides my lack of green thumbs, succulents love lots of sun and dry air, here in the midwest we are lacking in the sun department for months on end which makes keeping them alive even more of a challenge. All of those people with the wonderful succulent arrangements in my Instagram feed seem to live in succulent friendly areas like California. For those of us in colder zones of the country, DIY paper succulents are a fun and surprisingly easy way to achieve this gardening trend. No green thumbs, water, or sunlight are required…just a few sheets of paper and a little imagination are all you need.
