Variety of shapes
Garden and home planters can be made of any shape, especially if there are interesting ideas. Familiar round pots can easily be turned into original decor items. The main thing is to leave enough space for the development of the root system of a certain type of plant.
The shape of the pot will depend on the material of its manufacture. When choosing a suitable option, you should pay attention to the environment, style of design. It should also be remembered that each type of raw material has its own characteristics, negative, positive sides, methods of processing and further care.
For a miniature bonsai tree, a square, oval, round planter with low sides is suitable. Indoor plants framed by burlap, textiles will look great in a niche or on a windowsill. It is reasonable to take out concrete antique flowerpots to the street and put at the entrance to the veranda. The oval hanging planter is the very place on the balcony, in the street gazebo.
Workshops on self-made flower pots
Self-made things give the room a special atmosphere and warmth. For the home, they usually use lightweight safe materials that better maintain their integrity at room temperature. Street flowers also require a beautiful and unusual design. In this case, to create a cache-pot, more stable options for raw materials are suitable. You can make a unique flowerpot from improvised materials that have long been removed from the eyes to the garage or balcony. Having studied the proposed workshops, even a beginner can learn to decorate a finished pot or create from scratch.
Polymer clay
To make a flowerpot according to your own design, you will need to prepare a sufficient amount of clay for modeling, a knife for separating the main material, parchment paper, a template for the future planter, a rolling pin for rolling, a spatula for smoothing corners.
It is better to make a container for indoor flowers from polymer clay. It freezes on its own, does not require drying. If you could not find a suitable template in advance, you can create a unique craft using your imagination on the go. Step-by-step execution of the work is as follows:
We tear off a piece of clay from a coma, put it on parchment and roll it well with a rolling pin until the material becomes 1 cm thick;
We apply parts of the template to the formation and carefully cut out the elements along the contour;
We connect all the details, smooth with a stick the joints;
Install the frame from the walls to the prepared bottom;
We wrap the container with paper and leave it to dry;
When the cache-pot dries and hardens, you can decorate it using the painting technique or leave it in its original form.
Gramophone records
The value of the records is due to the unique sound of the old record. But if they are spoiled, scratched, then immediately turn into useless vinyl. The use of such materials will surely find lovers of flowers. An excellent planter for small plants will come out of them. To create the craft, you need the records themselves, a gas, electric stove, a deep plate as a mold, a metal cover for canning, a nut and a rope.
We clear the label plate. We pass the rope through the hole, fix its end with a nut and an iron cover. Holding the vinyl at one end of the rope, slowly turn over the burner on. As soon as the edges sag under the influence of high temperature, we quickly pull out the rope and the clamp, put the plate on the shape (inverted bowl) and press the black edges. Until the material has frozen, it can be given any shape.
Cement
Flowerpots made of cement are more suitable for the street. They are often used in the design of the courtyard, infield. You can exhibit single pots or create unique antique compositions. There are several ways to make cement decor. The simplest is by pouring the solution into the mold.
To make a pot of cement, you will need a plastic bucket from the building mixture. We clear the temporary container from the labels, remove the handle, lubricate it from the inside with oil. Knead the solution in accordance with all the rules and pour it into the prepared bucket. Cement should not reach the edges. On a 5 liter container, you need to knead a 4 liter solution.
Now you need to make a notch. To do this, take an empty plastic bottle of 2 or 3 liters. We cut off the neck and fill it with sand or small pebbles. This is necessary to make lightweight plastic heavier.We process the outside of the bottle with oil and lower it into a container with cement. It will take at least two days to dry the cement pot. It will turn out an excellent steady flowerpot for a massive palm.
Fabric and cement
An original and simple way to make an outdoor street pot will surprise all guests and members of the household. An interesting idea can be brought to life with a piece of unnecessary fabric, cement mortar. As additional items you will need a mold for the future flowerpot, a bucket and a mixer for kneading the mixture, cling film, acrylic-based paints for drawing.
The shape can be any container that does not absorb moisture. It can be an old stump, an inverted galvanized barrel and other suitable products. Step-by-step instructions will help to understand the order of work:
Set the mold on the platform and cover with cling film;
Knead the solution to the consistency of thick sour cream. For a fortress, you can add building glue to it so that the mixture does not drain from the fabric;
Put a rag in a container with cement and leave it to soak well for several minutes;
We get the fabric in cement and transfer to the form, straighten the edges, give the desired look to the future pot;
We leave in this state the craft for one week;
When the cement dries, it will give the fabric a beautiful decorative look with original waves and folds.
Tree
Flowerpots made of natural material in a natural environment will look especially beautiful - in the garden, on the terrace, at the entrance to the house. They can be made from the remnants of timber, old boards or whole hemp. The latter option will fit most successfully into landscape design. To implement the plan, you only need a drill and a chisel.
First, determine the size of the future pot. Mark the size of the hole on the most convenient cut of the stump. The optimum height of the flowerpot is 40 cm. If the workpiece is higher, it is better to remove the excess.We drill holes around the entire circle as close to each other as possible. We knock out the wood with a chisel.
Soil right at the bottom of the stump is better not to fall asleep. It will get wet and quickly deteriorate. It is more suitable as an original planter for a plant on a pallet. If the tree needs to be used as a pot, then its internal part is treated with a stain and lined with polyethylene.
A hemp pot with polyethylene sent under the ground is not suitable for growing every crop. High humidity and stagnation of water - a harmful environment for many plants.
Coconut
A great option for succulents, which are absolutely not demanding on watering. From overmoistening, the shell will quickly burst, and rare contact with water will prolong its decorative properties. To make an exotic mini flowerpot, you need one coconut, an ornate piece of a stick to decorate the composition.
We cut the nut in half, remove all the insides and make drainage holes in each half. In soft areas, you can handle a screwdriver, in other cases you have to resort to drilling. If you need to fix the wooden driftwood to the side, then there you have to make a hole for a self-tapping screw.
We clear one half of the shell from the fibers and fasten the stick to it. Natural vase should be in a stable position. If desired, a pallet can be made for it and varnished.
Felt
Unusual material for flower pots is suitable only as a decoration for an existing pot or for a special type of soil. From felt, you can make containers in the form of multi-colored funny animals, fruits, houses and more.
Felt covers are made by stitching parts. You must first stock up on material and patterns. Such flower pots are usually used to decorate miniature pots with undemanding care plants.
Wine corks
Cork cork is an excellent medium for growing succulents.From finished products, you can already make mini pots for cactus kids. It is enough to dig out the middle with a knife, fill the soil and plant the plant. You can put the craft on a tray or hang it in any sunny place.
To make a medium-sized flowerpot, you will need a plastic bucket of sauces or jams, double-sided tape and several dozen corks. We cut off the upper part of the disposable container, where is the place for fixing the lid. We cut the cortical products in half, attach the adhesive tape to the flat side and lean it against the cylindrical object. Thus, you need to arrange the entire bucket, trying not to make passes.
Rods
A pot made of sticks and twigs fits perfectly into the eco-style interior. A simple way to lay out sticks and tie with a woolen thread is suitable even for beginners. To implement more complex weaving, you will need to practice.
To work, you need to prepare soft rods, twine, garden shears, knitting wire, chain and metal hooks. The following step-by-step instructions will help to cope with the painstaking work:
We separate two identical pieces of wire, determine the middle of each.
We put in the center a small bunch of rods, we turn a loop of metal.
Turn the rods to the other side, insert the remaining length of the wire into the loop, twist with pliers.
We twist the branches in a circle, each passage is fixed with a wire;
As you use, add new material, trying to increase the circumference;
At the end of weaving, we cut off the remaining ends of the wire and excess branches;
We place the basket in the wall macramé or hang it on a beautiful chain.
Gypsum
The technology for making pots from hardening mixtures is very simple. You can use a variety of forms to create original gypsum products. The material is in excellent contact with the ground.Therefore, the cache-pot can be used immediately for its intended purpose, without additional internal processing.
In the process, you will need white gypsum, two plastic bottles of 2 l and 1 l, cling film, decorative elements for decoration. Manufacturing technology is as follows:
We make a gypsum solution, mix the powder with water 2: 1;
Cut the plastic bottle to half and line it with cling film on the inside;
We wrap a container of 1 liter in a bag or film;
At the bottom of a bottle of 2 l pour gypsum and let dry;
Fill a smaller bottle with sand to make it heavier and lower it into a large bottle;
Pour gypsum into the space between the transparent walls of the container and leave for several hours for complete solidification;
Cut the bottles with a knife and get a pot;
Leave to dry for a few more days;
Decorate with acrylics, mosaics, beads and other trifles.
Plastic
The easiest and most affordable option for making pots. It is great for growing young shoots and stunted plants with a small root system. We will work with plastic bottles of 2.5 liters. You will also need an old disk, a hot glue gun, a hole punch, a marker, a knife and paint in a spray can.
Define the center of the bottle and draw a wavy line with a marker. We make a neat cut on it. The part with the neck, together with the cover, is fixed in the center of the disk with a glue gun. Turn the workpiece over and leave a few even drops of glue for stability. Along the wavy edges we make several even holes and paint with aerosol paint.
Tin can and mosaic pot
Throw material for a skilled person is just a godsend, and an excellent raw material for all kinds of crafts. From a simple tin can and mosaic you will get an original flower pot. For decor, you will need small sea pebbles or fragments of broken dishes, shards, parts of tiles, artificial elements.
Choose a high tin can and clear the label. If the surface is uneven, it should be puttied. We apply the solution for the mosaic and fasten small parts to the solution in compliance with the gaps. We cover the pot with a special mixture for grouting. Wipe well with a dry cloth and leave to dry.
From improvised and unnecessary materials
The easiest way to make an impromptu planter is to use large diameter plastic pipes for planting plants. It is enough to simply cut off a piece of suitable height for the vase, install it on the street, fill the soil and plant flowers. Having made several of these pots, you can lay out the whole composition on the site.
Stylishly looks any living greens in old cups and bowls. Leaky dishes will get a second life if you show a little imagination. Original beds on a tree from old metal teapots will come out.
Beautiful florists can even be made from old bags or shoes. Rubber boots with climbing plants, shoes at the entrance to the house with cute flowers will definitely bring a smile to guests.
Pot Decorating Ideas
Indoor plants create an atmosphere of comfort in the house, fill it with life and ease. A great addition to natural decoration is a beautiful flower pot. The design of standard pots is boring and monotonous. To give originality and brightness, they can be beautifully decorated. There are many workshops that allow you to quickly and practically without costs decorate a nondescript container.
Decoupage
An effective way to decorate pots with napkins will help to organically fit a simple planter into any interior. The selected material is attached to the pot with glue and coated with varnish. For decoration, a container of any material is suitable. If it has a slippery surface, like plastic, it will need to be sanded for a better grip.
To make the picture look attractive, you need to choose a good material for transfer.For beginners, it is better to use a simple three-layer napkin or special decoupage cards. A huge variety of stylistic orientation allows you to choose the right picture for any occasion.
Transferring the picture to the pot is very simple. The container must be washed, wiped with fine emery paper and degreased, painted with soil. Then apply the main background color. We cut out the picture we like and put it on cling film or file.
Wet a piece of paper with water and gently spread it with a brush on the surface. We apply the film to the pot with a piece of paper and press down. Carefully remove the file, the cut out motif will remain on the side of the container. We fix everything with PVA glue and varnish.
It is worth considering that decorating clay pots using decoupage technique will require more glue. This is due to the ability of clay to absorb moisture. It will also take longer to dry.
Marine style
The fertile basis for such decoration is flower pots and flowerpots. Marine themes can be created from various shells, small pebbles, glass fragments. Each element separately will look beautiful, but it is better to create an original composition in a marine style.
Fasten decor elements to building quick-drying glue. It is applied to the surface of the pots and to the base of the parts. Each shell must be leaned against and held for several seconds. When the entire pot is pasted over, it is necessary to process the gaps with grout for seams. Marine elements can be left in their natural color or coated with multi-colored acrylic.
Krupami
Creating a mosaic of seeds and cereals is an unusual, fascinating activity. It is not difficult to make a unique picture, and a pot decorated in this way will look attractive and original. We will create using various bulk products, wrapping paper, ceramic glue, acrylic varnish and brush. The technique of applying decor is as follows:
We wrap the container with paper and apply a drawing;
We cut out the necessary elements and transfer to the base with the help of a carbon paper;
We mark on the pot sections, places of attachment of different cereals;
Sort bulk products by color;
We coat the markedly marked areas with glue and sprinkle with the decor;
Cover the pots with varnish and leave to dry.
Pencils
Multi-colored pencils - an original decoration for the capacity of a room flower. We glue equally sharpened elements in a circle around the pot with a fence using a glue gun. For decoration, an even planter is more suitable without bulges and dents, so that the pencil fits completely and is well fixed.
The second decor option is the use of plain plain pencils with an eraser at one end. Place them with the elastic up and adjust to the pot. Felt pens, wax pens, and crayons can also be used as decorations. The finishing touch is a bright ribbon with a bow around the product.
Fabric: lace, burlap and other textiles
The pots in the ensemble decorated with the same type of textile look beautiful. Particularly suitable materials for the popular Shabby-chic trend are burlap and lace. We begin to work with lace with its preparation. Carefully coat the section with glue from the inside and lean against the pot. Drops of the composition that appear through the mesh of matter should be immediately removed with a dry cloth.
Burlap jewelry is more suitable for pots in the garden. Such a container can be used as an accessory, giving the yard a rural look. The technology of material fixation is identical to lace. Planting in such a container is better for low, upright bushes, resembling an armful of young ears.
Knitted covers for pots can be made on knitting needles or cut off sleeves from an old sweater. You can also use some of the old socks in the gum area or outdated mittens.
Eggshell
