DIY Flower Pot Designs
I have really been getting into flowers and plants this year since joining a related project at work and having been exposed to the natural charm and beauty of these lovely living things.
I have always found flowers and plants to be a great element of any home or office (I have a cheerful bamboo plant on my desk which reminds me that it’s not all just bland desks and computers in the world), and I wanted to share this inspirational video from The Joy Of Plants who have come up with an innovative way to design and make your own flower pots at home.
To make a homemade linen jacket for your plant, you will need:
- Linen fabric
- An iron
- White latex paint
- Wood glue
- Paint brush
- Sewing machine & thread
- Decorations
Method:
- Tear your linen fabric into squares
- Iron any creases out of your squares
- Make a mix of 50% white latex paint, 50% wood glue
- Paint all over your squares
- Leave them to dry
- Decorate your squares once dry, you can use a brush to make patterns or other add other items like buttons or sequins for your own unique look
- Sew the squares together
- Add any decorative last touches, like contrast stitching around the edges
- Slip your plant into your newly made decorative pot and position proudly in your home!
