  • Cover the soil with one side of the overhanging fabric, and then the other side.
  • Hook the back of the frame onto the wreath.
  • Decide which succulents you will plant in each colored section.
  • Using an Exacto knife, make a small X in the burlap where you want to plant.
  • Use a pencil to create a hole in the soil.
