It’s no secret that Apartment Therapy and its readers are big fans of succulents – we in fact started pruning and clipping ours last weekend to get them ready for the spring. Once the clippings start rooting they’ll be ready for a new home, and we’re really digging these upcycled pot ideas from Living Arrangements.
Upcycled Succulent Planter Inspiration
Living Arrangements
Living Arrangements lets you pick your favorite arrangement from their gallery and if you want you can provide your own container for the potting. Their gallery displays beautiful images of succulent arrangements in vintage coffee cans, bread pans, shipping containers, and even pasta strainers.
The succulents from Living Arrangements start at around $40, but if you’re feeling creative and up to the task try making your own succulent garden with a few clippings and any fun recycled container.

Does one need to worry about it rusting through? Or since succulents don't need a constantly moist soil, is this less of an issue? Would there be an appropriate sealant for the metal interior that wouldn't kill the plants?
I've had a container I've been wanting to use for such a thing for months, but am not a green thumb by nature (I prefer assertive plants that droop when they need water).

Love these, it's reinforcing the idea that I need to go back to get that thrift store teacup I passed up and stick a plant in it.
Happify, you could just line it with a reused plastic bag. Cover the edges of the plastic with gravel or Spanish moss or whatever.
And succulents will droop when they need water. Well, they won't droop, they just look sorta wrinkled and flaccid.
