propagating plant cuttings

I’ve got a few succulents that I like and would like to propagate. New cuttings seem sensitive to moisture, they either dry out or rot in the soil. What is the best way to start a new cutting? I’ve heard that some people use jars with water. That’s kind of ugly; is there a better way?
