If you saw my last post, you know I’ve been in Chicago the last few days helping my sister move-in to her new apartment. The week has been full of building furniture, running errands, and of course plenty of DIY decor projects. First up is this yarn wrapped succulent planter. I found the succulents at Home Depot and decided they needed a bright planter. I chose to wrap it in yarn for added texture.
