Here is what you will need:
- Shadow box, or shallow wood planter
- Scissors
- Plastic for lining box
- Wire cutters
- Staple gun
- Pencil
- Wire mesh
- Soil
- Lots of succulent amount will vary depending on the size of your shadow box. (be sure to get different sizes and shapes 2″ and 4″ pots are best)
- Decorative moss
You can add hardware to hang if yours does not come with one. Then line your shadow box or planter with plastic you will line bottom and sides.
Next start to remove the succulents from there pots you are going to gently remove the soil, and layout your succulents on your work space. You will then repurpose the soil into your planter, When adding soil do not skimp it will make is so much easier if the soil is filled and more packed in. Cut your wire mesh to fit the top of your box, Then staple in place, you will be stapling both the plastic liner and wire mesh.
Time to start planting, with a pencil gently push the roots of the succulent through the wire mesh. On larger plants you may need to cut a larger whole in the wire mesh. Continue to fill in with succulents. 
Finish off by adding decorate moss, this can add texture and color and also help the succulent go a bit farther.
These a great for indoors or outdoors.(If your plants do not seem seeded in firmly just give the succulent a week or two so the roots take hold) You can hang it on a wall or use and enjoy as a planter.
Depending on your climate your may need to remove and water form time to time, I often just use a mister and just remove and freshen up when needed. This is very low maintenance and as succulents can usually survive with very little water as they pull moisture out of the air. I often go weeks with out watering. Hope you have fun making your succulent creation!
