DIY Plant Charms: Update Your Greenery With Stylish Plant Accessories
I've been on a decorating spree lately, but not just within the confines of my home – my plants have become my latest canvas.
After delving into the world of plant beading (be sure to check out my previous post), I was hooked. I needed to explore further.
I spent countless moments studying my plants and scavenging through my home for inspiration and I stumbled upon a few plant accessories ideas worth sharing.
So, today, I'm thrilled to unveil my latest project: crafting DIY plant charms from old jewelry findings.
With these charming adornments, you’ll transform your potted friends into the most beautiful house plants on the lane.
Tools and Materials:
- Assorted charms and findings from old jewelry

1. Gather Your Materials and Let's Get Started
For this project, I am going to spruce up some lavender I have growing in a pot in my courtyard.
Most charms come equipped with jump rings, which makes attaching them to jewelry a breeze. Keep these rings attached to the charms they come with – they'll prove useful in our project.
Additionally, clasps offer a convenient alternative for items lacking jump rings.
During my search, I stumbled upon a few fake Pandora-inspired charms. These are particularly handy as they feature large holes, that effortlessly slip over the plant stems.
2. Add Charms
Let's get those charms on your plants!
Start by gently opening the jump rings to detach them from bracelets or necklaces.
Once free, carefully slide the charm onto a plant stalk, making sure to close the ring securely.
Now, for pieces without a natural attachment point, like this broken earring, it's time to bring in the clasps.
Once the clasp is attached you can clip it onto a stalk.
3. Adding the Pandora Beads
I carefully adorned my plants with Pandora beads, sliding them over the leaves of the lavender plant.
Surprisingly, it was a seamless process, and I only lost a few leaves along the way.
