We made these beautiful little potted forever plants with just 3-5 materials (depending on your preference)! Plus, a little bit of time, creativity, and fun! As a reminder, we make a small commission every time you click a link for a product we have listed here.
These plants are so fun and attainable to do! We offer beaded forever plants as one of our craft classes, but if you want to create your own at home here is everything you will need!
Mini Terra-Cotta Pots – These are the miniature terra-cotta pots we ordered, but I think most of any that you order will likely be pretty similar. I like the size and weight of these, as well as their affordable price point!
Green Pipe Cleaners – These pipe cleaners are so soft… like pillowy soft. They are vibrant and fluffy – absolutely perfect for this project and any other fun craft! We cut these in half for the miniature pots – they are the perfect length for the pots we have listed above.
Assorted Mixed-Green Pony Beads – After looking at a lot of pony beads… like more pony bead listings than anyone should ever see. I found these! They are the perfect mix of colors and durability. We also use some other large bulk backs of beads for our own craft classes, but this set is perfect for an at-home DIY!
Hot Glue - Any hot glue gun and glue sticks should work here. Just twist the ends of your pipe cleaners together, and then glue them into the pot. I use a lot of different kinds of glue guns that I've collected over the years. But if you're searching for one, this one should do the trick.
Filling - Various things can be used for filling - paper, faux dirt, foam, etc. This part is up to you! You can place this filling into the pot with your hot glue and then adhere the plant to the pot or the filling itself.
