• Succulents (3 to 5 varieties, including a trailing succulent similar to Senecio radicans)

• Sphagnum moss

• Burlap table runner

• Plastic wrap

• Large decorative rocks

• Small decorative rocks

• Scissors (not pictured)

• Masking tape (not pictured)

Spread out a layer or two of plastic wrap where your table runner and centerpiece will be placed. Tape the ends under the table with masking tape to hold it in place.

Lay the burlap table runner across the table, covering the plastic wrap.

If the plastic wrap is too wide, fold the edges under so they are covered by the burlap.

Trim the ends of the table runner to the desired length. Cut each end to come to a point in the center.

On the center of the runner, spread a handful or two of small decorative rocks.

Place larger decorative rocks randomly among the smaller rocks.

Add a small patch of sphagnum moss on top of the rocks near the center.

Place a large succulent in the center of the moss and rocks.

Add more rocks and moss around the succulent to make the arrangement wider in the center.

Add a few smaller succulents around the large succulent to create a small grouping. This will tie in the large succulent with the smaller groupings.

Group smaller succulents along the rocks in several places.

If needed, use the larger rocks and moss to help succulents stand up.

Cover any visible roots with clumps of moss.

Place several strands of trailing succulents around the smaller succulents. Hide the ends under the other succulents.

Create additional groupings of rocks, moss, and succulents along the table runner. The total number of groupings should be an odd number, such as 3 or 5.

To maintain the arrangement for several days, spray the bottom of the arrangements with water every other day. The plastic wrap will prevent the water from damaging the table.
