Farmhouse Style Succulent Message Board
Gather these supplies to make your own succulent message board:
- Large DIY Unfinished Wood Frame with Wire

- Moss
- White latex paint

Putting together the farmhouse style succulent message board is so easy. It would be a fun project for kids to work on. Here’s how to make it:
- Sand the unfinished frame with a medium grit sanding block. Wipe frame with tack cloth to remove any dust and grit created by the sanding block.
- Paint frame. (I watered down my paint for a more rustic farmhouse look. There are many different painting techniques you can apply)
- Turn over frame. Attach burlap ribbon across the bottom, stapling along the sides and bottom to create a pocket.
- Fill burlap pocket with moss. Flip back over to the front to ensure entire pocket is fill with moss.
- Use wire cutters to remove stems from faux succulents.
- Arrange succulents on top of wire and moss and hot glue to attach to frame.
- Follow package instructions to prepare epoxy. Attach “gather” sign to the top corner of frame, applying the epoxy to the back of sign on points that touch the frame. Place heavy objects over points to hold down the sign while it dries.
A farmhouse style succulent message board is a great way to incorporate succulents into home decor without having the maintenace of watering plants! Want to know more about real succulents? Read about my Beginner’s Guide to Succulents.
