If you're looking for a project that's easy, small, cute, and takes less than five minutes to complete, consider sempervivums in shells!  All you do is take a little shell (the one at left is about an inch and a half across), put a pinch of dirt in it, and stick in a sempervivum rosette that doesn't have much of a root structure (offsets are perfect). 

If you want, put a few multicolored rocks on the dirt, like I did in the example below.

This is an embarrassingly easy project to write about, but it's cute and gets tons of compliments.  Great for small spaces like windowsills.

I spritz the dirt in these with a spray bottle about once a week.

What do you think?  Ever tried this?

Yes! I love the way succulents look like they belong in shells. So many resemble undersea flora and fauna. You might enjoy my YouTube video, How to Make a Succulent Tide Pool Garden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8hVD3aU8Vo
