\"DIY<\/p>\n

Obsessed with potted succulents like me?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Create a gorgeous focal point for your outdoor patio area by installing a living succulent wall of potted succulents! We used a DIY wood board and metal mounting rings<\/a>, and we hung this pretty plant display on an exterior backyard wall to create a fun sitting area.<\/p>\n

I love how this DIY project<\/a> turned out!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I am excited to share my version of this succulent wall planter idea I originally spotted on Our Faux Farmhouse via Instagram<\/a>. We were super inspired to create one ourselves. This is such a satisfying project to see completed!<\/p>\n

Let’s talk wooden hanging boards!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To be honest, we started our patio project with this DIY hanging faux barn wood-looking piece we made years ago to hang above our bed. It served its purpose for years, and since I recently redecorated, I wanted to find a new use for it. This was a great opportunity to re-use it as a hanging succulent wall – WooHoo!<\/em><\/p>\n

The boards measure 5ft x 3ft, and we stained them using a rag with Minwax stain in Ebony<\/a>. If this size is too big, you could always make one smaller to fit maybe six or nine hanging pots instead of 12. It’s up to you and your space.<\/p>\n

Above is a photo of the back of the board to show how we grouped these one-inch thick wood pieces. We then nailed them to a couple of pieces of plywood to keep them together. This is a very common way to build pallet signs. Of course, you could use actual<\/em> pallet wood (or just use various scrap wood pieces as we did with ours).<\/p>\n

We ended up framing our wood boards using a 1×1 1\/2 inch piece of primed MDF. That’s completely optional, but I love the finished white framed look.<\/p>\n
