Planting Succulents

Homemade presents are the best. That's why planting a pot with succulents is an easy alternative which doesn't require too much creativity.

Supplies:

• Container: zinc pot, glass jar...
• Plants: various succulents, housesleeks...
• Gravel, small kernels
• Soil

Steps:

1. Place a layer of gravel about 2-3 cm high into your container.
2. Distribute a layer of soil about 1-2cm high onto the gravel layer.
3. Take your plants out of the plastic pot
4. Squeeze the soil and root part gently. Be careful not to break any root part (hydrate it if needed).
5. Position your plant on your soil layer.
6. Fill in the gaps between the plants and cover the tops of the root parts.
7. Gently press down and level out the soil layer.
8. Distribute a small layer of gravel on top to cover up the soil.

If you live in Germany and wonder where I got my supplies, just ask :)

Making Skinny Jeans

Who doesn't have a jeans that is either out of style of just too big?
I followed Liz's Tutorial on how to turn your pants into skinny jeans - I also altered the hem. It's still frumpy looking around the hip area as I didn't know how to alter it - yet. Nonetheless, I think it's a good way to reuse your pants that you tugged away. I only kept these because I like the dark wash haha :)
