I love coming across DIY projects that are pretty simple but look so nice! This modern cinder block planter idea is perfect, with supplies that are easy to come by and putting it together is just as simple. They are filled with easy to grow beautiful succulents – the inspiration comes from Annette at {Pot-ted}, a nursery and patioscaping company.

Here’s how she did it:
- The wall was built with 12″ cinder blocks
- Liquid nails were used to hold them together so there wouldn’t be grout lines and would also allow for flexibility.
- In order to make bottoms for the blocks that are sticking forward, cut pieces of cinder block or pavers to fit the inside and then liquid nail them in.
- The planting is new and as it fills in and starts trailing, it is going to look even better.
- The use of cinder blocks allows for many different iterations you could make depending on how much space you have.
- They are also really cheap and can be painted if you want to match them to your decor.
