Well, more like a succulent tattoo.
My in-laws booked a room at the Marriott Vacation Club Resort in Newport Beach for a change in scenery.
The boys (my husband has 3 brothers) all brought their computers and game consoles as I expected, but we made it outside once today! Victory!
We took the trolley to Crystal Cove and along the rocks, these gorgeous succulents are THRIVING.
While the boys attempted snorkeling, I walked along the cliffs foraging different shades of the succulent. One patch had fiery red ones!
Doesn't everyone carry around floral shears, glue, and a bucket? My in-laws learn more and more about me every day baha.
STEP 1: I started building the shape and flow with masking tape. You don't want to glue flowers directly to your skin because that'll hurt to peel off. Also, it makes it easily removable in one piece so you can place it on another part of your body!
STEP 2: I started adding ombré leaves that matched the succulent colors. Oasis floral adhesive found here.
Tip: Choose a "focal point" where larger pieces will go. For me, that was my wrist.
STEP 3: Add your flowers! What's great about succulents is they're pretty tenacious plants, so I'm hoping to grow them in my planter box at home.
*I started with greens and purples at the top, transitioning to my focal point with RED. I love how it goes from cool to warm tones.
Keep adding until you're satisfied! In my case, the sun was killing me and I was ready to leave; it's not perfect but it'll do!
I love how some of the green variety has white blossoms that trail up the pointer finger.
Husband, UFO.
Happy Weekend,
