Gather all your materials to get started on this project

Grab your hot glue gun and vertically line the box with glue. Carefully adhere a skewer to the glue and hold it in place for a moment or two.

You can apply multiple lines of hot glue and adhere multiple skewers along the box at a time to speed up the process.

Grab a pair of clippers or pliers and clip the ends of the skewers off at the rim of the box. Try to clip them as evenly as possible.

When you’ve worked your way around the box and have clipped off all the ends, grab a piece of sandpaper and scrub the ends till it becomes smooth. Alternatively, you can choose to leave it as it is if you like the ruggedness it provides to the planter.

Next, paint the planter with two-three coats of paint, allowing enough time for each coat to dry before applying the next.

Layer the inside of the box with a sheet or block of styrofoam that has been sized to fit the box.

Next, fold a paper towel, napkin, or cloth and place it on top of the styrofoam.

Decorate the box with stones, pebbles, rocks and shells. You can also use sand to cover up any open spots where the napkin peeks through.

Finally, artfully arrange the faux succulents between the rocks and tuck them in place firmly.

Your DIY boho planter is ready and you can set it up wherever you like!
