Make a beautiful faux succulent wreath with a few simple items from the Dollar Store and a hot glue gun!

If you also live in an area where succulents won’t survive outside or just don’t want to have to bother with living plants then this homemade faux succulent wreath is the perfect option for getting that living wreath look!

- Trim the end of the ribbon and hot glue it in place on the back of the wreath form, to hide the join line.
