    8. Continue to fill the succulent wreath with faux plants, divvying out the colors to spread them all over the wreath.

    Choose the succulents placing so they frame and outline the wreath.  The green wreath form is a blessing to disguise any empty spaces.

    So make the succulent wreath full, use bigger succulents, like this one below, and cut it into smaller pieces.
