Supplies Needed

• Succulent studios subscription box — or 1–2 of your own succulents
• Tin can or metal pot (old food cans!)
• Marble contact paper
• Scissors
• Marker
• Ruler/Fisko cutting board
• Hammer
• Nail
• Rock or pebbles
• Succulent & Cacti soil mix

Preparing the Pot

• Lay the metal pot on the marble paper with the open end at the edge of the paper (leave the paper backing on for now!)
• Wrap the pot in the paper for measurement and mark where it overlaps and runs off the bottom of the pot

• Cut out the measured piece roughly then take a ruler or cutter to get a precise straight edge cut
• Take off the paper backing and stick the marble paper around the pot

• Using the ruler, press out any air bubbles
• On the bottom, use your hammer and nail to create 3–4 holes for drainage

Adding the Succulents

• Add your succulent and cacti soil to the metal pot about 3/4 of the way up

• Separate succulent from pot by pushing in on all sides to loosen soil, then remove the entire succulent with the root ball attached
• Place the succulent directly into the soil and repeat with other succs
• Add white rock to cover up the soil to give your pot and succulents a little extra pop!
• Take a photo! Show off your #MarbleSucculentPot and tag us #Sucstu on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter so we can see how it turned out!
