Step-by-step: How to make your own flower pot from a plastic planter
For this DIY you only need the planter you usually plant your flowers right in. There are several benefits to using this instead of putting another pot around it: First of all, you don’t need another pot, so you can save that money for more plants. Second of all, these plastic planters have holes on the bottom, which is great for bottom watering and keeps your plants from having their roots rot. If you are using your planter indoor, make sure to use a plate or something similar underneath, to catch the water. You can also use this planter outdoor. Our have been sitting outside for two month now and it still looks as good as new.
Cut your fabric
Wrap your jute fabric around the planter and cut it to the right size.
Leave a 1-2 Inch fold
Leave some room at the top and bottom, for a seamless look.
Use the hot glue
Glue a straight line and secure the first end of the fabric.
Hot glue the upper rim
Glue the upper rim and roll it straight onto the fabric.
Wrap around the pot
Secure the end of the fabric at your starting point.
Wrap the jute tight
If your pot is smaller at the bottom, you need to pull and glue it down.
Glue around the rim
Now wrap your fabric around the rim and secure it with hot glue.
Make the bottom even
Glue down the bottom fabric and try to secure it evenly, so it won’t waggle.
take your jute yarn
Wrap the jute yarn around your pot and make a pretty bow. You can also secure it with some glue.
Paint the bottom
Take your acrylic paint and paint the bottom. Let it dry throughly and you have a beautiful flower pot.
These jute planters bring some natural Boho vibes into your home. They are also great to be mixed with other styles like Scandinavian, Farmhouse or Industrial. Make sure to tag us in your results on Instagram. We can’t wait to see how your flower pots turn out!
