Flowers are always beautiful. And when these beautiful plants are in original pots and flower pots, it looks just great. Of course, you can go to a specialty store and buy everything you need to decorate the garden there. But it’s much more interesting to make a flower pot with your own hands. We have many great ideas that will be useful to all those who want to do their own landscaping in the garden.

What can be made of?

For those who like to independently come up with original decorative ornaments for interior decoration, of course, it will be easy to craft something original and useful for the garden.

You can buy a cache-pot at any flower shop.But you must admit, when you do this or that thing yourself, putting your soul into it, you get something special. As a result, it will be not only original, but also dear to you.

To make an original pendant, where you can then put pots with your favorite colors, you can from absolutely any materials. You can safely use everything that is in the barn of your country house. From improvised means completely original things will turn out.

You can use large bottles made of plastic.You can make street hanging flower pots yourself from fabric or any other materials. The main thing is that all this does not require any large expenses and special skills.

We have prepared for you some unusual ideas that will help you to decorate the territory of your garden in an original way.

By the way, all this can be done by the whole family, connecting children to the fascinating process.

Materials at hand

Perhaps the easiest option is a cement product using a variety of fabrics and rags. All you need is cement, a cloth (for example, a tablecloth or a large, medium towel), a large container for preparing the mixture, any object to shape, for example, an old bucket. You can take any bucket: wide, narrow, elongated.

The shape of the future product will depend on this.

So, in the tank you need to prepare a cement mixture, it should not be too thick and homogeneous. Then in this mixture you need to completely immerse the fabric. Leave her there for ten minutes. This is necessary so that the fabric is soaked with cement mixture as best as possible.

Then remove the fabric and hang it on an inverted bucket. The fabric should be neatly spread out, if desired, folds, an asymmetric shape, and so on. Leave everything in this form until completely dry. Then remove the workpiece from the bucket, boldly paint in any color that you like. By the way, use paints that are suitable for concrete. As a result, the concrete product is obtained in its original form and is quite durable, due to which it will please you more than one day.

From plastic bottles you can also make an original hanging planter, in which the plants will look quite spectacular and unusual. In order to make it yourself, you will need: a rope, sharp scissors and several 5-liter plastic bottles. Of course, it is quite possible to take a 3-liter. It all depends on which flower pots you plan to place in this product.

So, carefully cut off the part of the bottle with the neck, since in the work you will need only the lower, straight part of the bottle. By the way, here you can also, based on your own preferences, adjust the height of the product. Someone decides to make a high cache-pot, and someone low.

It all depends on your taste.

Then you can decorate the product as your heart desires. You can cut the original patterns around the perimeter of the bottle using a special retractable knife, you can simply draw patterns or whole pictures on its surface, you can cut the wave-like upper part and so on. It all depends on your imagination and individual preferences. As a result, you just have to pass the rope, strengthen it and boldly hang the product in the chosen place.

By the way, plastic bottles can be replaced, for example, with plastic buckets from mayonnaise or delicious ice cream. In this case, the rope will no longer be needed, as they have a strong handle.

The wooden planter will also look original and unusual in your garden.Wood products are always in perfect harmony with plants. In such an item, you can safely place a pot of ordinary flowers that resemble vines.

So, for the manufacture of a wooden product, you will need 20-22 identical bars. Their length can be 10 or 20 centimeters. Lay the bars in a checkerboard pattern, fastening them together with nails or self-tapping screws. As a result, you get an original trellised product. You can leave it in this form, or you can paint it in your favorite color.

Ready-made wooden crates, in which fruits or vegetables are usually sold, are also quite suitable. They come in different sizes, and all you need to do is carefully treat the surface and paint it in any color. With the help of boxes you can safely create entire compositions, originally building them on top of each other.

Also, a wooden planter can be made using a large log.True, for the manufacture of such a product you will need brute masculine power.

If your spouse is busy, then you and your children can very well make a gypsum product. You can execute it in any shape: round, square, high and low. Take as a basis the product that you like best in shape. For example, a vase or a bucket. Turn over and start making the frame using wire. It is easy to do. It is enough to completely braid the entire surface, and then remove the frame from the product.

Next, prepare the gypsum mixture. Pre-prepared strips of fabric, gently soak in the solution for literally two to three minutes, no more. Next, get one strip and lay them on the prepared frame. This should be done carefully, evenly, layer by layer. As a result, you should get a product thickness of at least two centimeters.

The walls of the resulting gypsum workpiece must be treated with the remaining mixture to level the product. Leave it to dry completely, for about 10 hours, maybe more. Then it can be decorated based on your own imagination. For example, paint with waterproof paints, decorate with original stones, shells and so on.

There are still a lot of original ideas.It is quite possible to make a pot using an unnecessary wicker basket. Such a product will always look original in the garden.

You can independently weave the product from the rod or knit it with strong threads.

Unusual ideas

We offer you some more ideas that will win your hearts with their unusualness and originality. In fact, the product in which the flower pots will be located can be made from anything. And not always for this you need to cut, cut, plan, weave, and so on. Sometimes you can just take an unnecessary old thing and use it. The main thing is to arrange everything beautifully.

An old kettle or pan may well act as a pot.It is enough to rid the product of rust, of the old, peeling layer of paint and all that may interfere. You can draw up unnecessary kitchen utensils in any way. Of course, the simplest is painting. Here you can safely show imagination, draw any patterns, drawings. Such a product can also serve as an independent pot in which you can plant your favorite plant. Usually such products turn out to be bright and cheerful and look quite unusual in the garden.

Many courageous summer residents use such an old object as a suitcase in the design of their garden. If you still have an old grandmother or grandfather’s suitcase, then it’s quite possible to make an original flowerpot out of it, in which the plants will feel great.

To make it easier to care for flowers, put rectangular pots with plants in your suitcase.Thus, you can change them each time, constantly creating a new original look.

Old tires are often used as affordable material to embody original design ideas for a garden or vegetable garden. They can simply be painted in bright colors, originally laid out on the lawn, and inside place containers with plants. But you can do something else.

In specialized stores, supermarkets and markets, you can purchase flower pots of any size, color and shape, but there is always the possibility that you will see the same product from your girlfriend or at work. If you want originality, pots can be made with your own hands using improvised materials.

How to make pots with your own hands

The idea of \u200b\u200bmaking flower pots for your home or garden with your own hands is a great way to utilize some unnecessary things, give free rein to your imagination, have a good time, and then enjoy the fruits of your labors for a long time. I will not list all the possible options for materials that can be used in this case, since there are a lot of them and this list can be started, but continued indefinitely. I’ll tell you about several options that have already been tested by me or my friends.

Indoor flowers in flowerpots are a wonderful way to decorate an apartment or a house, to make a room more lively and comfortable.

In this article, we offer you interesting ideas on how to make beautiful hanging flower pots using a variety of materials, such as wood, leather, twine and other improvised means.

There are also 5 step-by-step master classes with schemes and photos, how to weave a flower pot quickly and easily with your own hands and create a really beautiful interior decor.

Leather hanging flower pots are simple to manufacture and look very original. Add a touch of style to your home interior with this wonderful leather flower pot. It will definitely be able to become exactly that highlight that makes the interior unique.

Workshop: leather hanging planter

Necessary materials:

• Distilled (purified) water
• Tracing paper (21x28 cm) and 4 pieces of strong rope (or leather laces), each approximately 90-120 cm long
• Dye for skin (optional) and gloves
• Leather (square size 30x30 cm)
• Packing tape, simple pencil and stationery knife
• Computer and printer (for printing a template) and template
• Sponge for wetting and staining

Step-by-step scheme:

Step 1: Preparation and placement

Print template plant hanger on tracing paper. Lay the template down on the seamy side of the leather and select the ideal placement (not too close to the sides and to avoid any imperfections in the skin).

Step 3: Soften the skin

Dip the sponge in purified water, and then evenly apply moisture to the skin. Repeat this step at least three times until the skin looks so that it cannot take more water. This will soften the skin, and facilitate our work on weaving pots.

Step 4: Migrate the Template

Now place the template in the previously selected location and   stick it with tape on the sidesso as not to shift to the sides. With a simple pencil, guide the lines printed on tracing paper, pressing the pencil with medium power. Be careful not to miss any line.

Step 5. Cutting

Now detach the template from the skin to see how the pattern has transferred to the surface of the skin. Using a clerical knife, make cuts in place of the lines.

For convenience, you can first cut the circle along the outer contour. The cuts should be clearly along the drawn lines.

Step 6. Coloring

Note: this step is optional, it is carried out depending on the desired color and materials at hand. In our case, we dyed the skin dark brown.

After the skin dries from moisture (at least one hour), apply the desired dye. Apply the paint with a sponge (gloves) until the desired effect is achieved.

As the skin dries, pull it back a little to give it a voluminous shape. You will begin to see how the skin is deformed, continue pulling and stretching itto create a planter shape for the pot, as it should be ready-made.

Step 8: Hang

• After that, as the skin dries completely, and a planter shape forms, punch four holes in the upper part to thread the ropes through them.
• You must place them evenly, at the same distance from each other, so that the suspended flower pot does not then bend in any direction.
• Take four ropes (plain or leather)   and on each of them tie a knot, tightening it tightly at the end.

Step 9: Decorating and Installation

Add tassels, beads, rivets   - all that is necessary to achieve the desired style in the end. At the top of the hanging cords, assemble all four of them together and tie them into a knot.

You can use this knot to hook on the ceiling hook and / or ring. See if the length of the suspension suits you, if you need to tie the knot at a different level.

Hanging pots made from straws

This planter fits the interior with innovative notes. Transform and complement your home decor with coasters of their neon cocktail and thread straws. And for this, even 15 minutes will be enough for you!

Necessary materials:

• Neon threads
• neon straws (8 pieces per pot)
• flower pots for indoor flowers (we used white melamine)
• domestic plants (succulents)
• scissors

How to weave - instructions:

Step 1: Cut the Thread

Cut eight pieces of a neon cord, each 90-150 cm long, depending on how close to the ceiling you want to place the pots.

Step 2: make the node

Take the threads just cut together and tie a knot at one end, resulting in a brush from a small excess of cord at one end.

Step 3: divide the threads into sections

Lay the rope in four sections (similar to the shape of a cross). That is, two ropes in each section.

Step 4: Cut the Straws

1. Cut in straws that small part which is separated by a spring. Then cut it in half. Take eight such small pieces and stretch them into each of them.
2. Move the straws to the center   (to the knot) and on every two threads (in sections) make a knot. Here's how it would look:
3. Fold the cross-shaped threads again, two threads per section. Only now, to form a section, take one thread from the neighboring sections before this.
4. Cut the straws into pieces   (total 16 needed), each of which should be in size as part of a straw that is separated by a spring.
5. To each of   8 pieces of straws thread a thread   and make knots on the threads from one section.
6. Similarly, lay out 2 threads in the shape of a cross, one at a time from adjacent sections.

Add the third and last set of straws to the threads and tie the adjacent threads (similar to the previous set).

Step 5: Hang

It remains only to hang the cache-pot and insert a flowerpot with indoor flowers into it. Make a few pieces, then together they will create a beautiful composition.

And neon straws will also glow a little at night, which will look very original.

Macrame flower pot

The macramé technique has probably the most variations in making pots. They can be either very simple, which can be done literally in 10-15 minutes with your own hands, or complex with hours of work. Practice weaving first on the lungs, hone your skills, and then improve.

Master class: DIY weaving macramé

Macrame is back in fashion, as is needlework in general. In this master class you will learn how to use this technique to make a hanging planter with your own hands. There is nothing complicated, just follow the instructions and you will succeed!

Necessary materials:

• 3 cords 2.5 m long and 0.5 cm thick
• 2.5-3 cm metal ring
• Hook (on the wall, slot) to hold the macrame during operation
• Scissors and colored rope
• Glass pot in the shape of a ball with a diameter of 20 cm
• Drainage stones and soil
• Home plants that curl (e.g. Stephanotis)
• Decorative moss (optional)

Step-by-step instruction:

Step 1: Pass the ropes into the ring

Pull all three ropes through the metal ring until the ring is in the middle of the ropes. Thus, you now have six ropes for work, each 1, 25 m in length.

Step 2: make the node

1. Of all six ropes tie a knot   right next to the ring. Make it as tight as possible, for this, after the knot is formed, pull each rope individually.
2. Hang the ring on the hook (if there is no hook, tie it to a cabinet handle or something like that with a separate small rope, the main thing is to fix it). This will allow you to use both hands while you work.

Step 3: Divide the Cords into Groups

• Separate the cords into three groups, two in each. Tie a knot in each pair 45 cm below the ring. You will have three nodes at the same level, make sure they are tight.
• Take one rope of two adjacent pairs and tie them together about 12 cm below the previous knot.

Repeat the previous step with the rest of the ropes so that everyone is tied together. This will create a zigzag pattern between the cords.

Step 4: Endpoint

1. About 12-15 cm below the second set of nodesGather all six ropes together to make one large end knot. Pull each cord individually to make the knot as tight as possible.
2. See which   the length you need to leave and cut the ropes   to the right size.
3. Wrap the rope with multi-colored threads in several places, while creating blocks a few centimeters long. This stage is decorative and is optional. Now the macrame pendant is ready and you can put a pot in it.

Step 5: Planting Indoor Flowers

Place drainage stones on the bottom of the glass pot to make a layer about 2.5 cm high. Fill the rest of the bowl with soil.

1. Remove the plant from the temporary pot and place in a glass jar. Water and crush the soil to compress it. You can place decorative moss on top of the soil, optional.
2. Place a glass bowl with a flower above the lowest node and   spread the ropes to the sidesto fix well.
3. Spread the plant if it is tangled in ropes. Hang and admire the beauty of the plant and your own product.

Macrame patterns for pots

Here are a few more schemes for those wishing to master the weaving of macrame. They are very simple - suitable even for beginners. We look at the photo and repeat. As a material, a clothesline or thin twine is perfect. The minimum consumption for a hanging planter is 10 meters of rope.

Cache-pot made of wood

The tree also gives a fairly large range of actions, various forms, colors. Choose what you like best and do it.

Master class: hanging wooden planter

Such a hanging planter will wonderfully complement your home interior. It is done quickly and simply, materials will also not take a lot of money. The best solution for an apartment.

Necessary materials:

• Wooden plate and saw
• Home plants and flowerpots
• Rope and metal ring
• Drill and sandpaper
• Paint and brush

  Step-by-step manufacturing scheme:

Step 1: Making Wooden Squares

Think about how many tiers will be in your flower stand ( there are 4 of them, but you can do more or less ) Pick the home plants you want to place there.

Based on all this, cut out the desired number of squares from a wooden plate.

1. To do this, turn the pot upside down and place it on the plate, circle and leave on the sides about 5 cmthus, the size of the square was determined.
2. With a saw make squares.

Step 2: making holes for the pots

1. You already have a circle drawn on a tree from the top of the pot, now in the middle of it you need to draw another one so that their centers coincide, but the diameter of the new one is about 1-2 cm smaller.
2. This value depends on how quickly the pot, which you will put in the stand, increases to the top, and also you want so that the wooden square is almost at the very top, or in the center of the pot.
3. You can take another pot, suitable in size for the stencil, and circle it.

• Use a jigsaw to cut this new circle. For convenience, you can first make a hole with a drill and, starting with it, work with a jigsaw.
• Now the pots should fit inside the squares.

Step 3: Hanging Holes

In the corners of the squares, you need to make holes for the rope so that they can be suspended. To do this, use   drill with a diameter up to 1 cm.

Step 4: Paint the Tree

Using sandpaper, remove roughness and unevenness that has formed after sawing and drilling. Now the tree can be painted or simply treated with an antiseptic. In this case, dark brown paint was used.

Step 5: Paint the Pots

Pots can also be painted, if desired. On plain clay pots, careless strokes of white paint look good. You can skip this step.

Step 6: Putting It All Together

In order to fasten the wooden squares together, we need a thick rope: cut 4 ropes of 180 cm (for a given number of tiers). Pull one rope into each corner hole of one of the squares and tie a knot at the end, this will be the lower part of the structure.

Tie one more on each rope knot 25-30 cm above the previous one and thread the ropes into the holes of the next square. Check that everything is smooth and the second tier is clearly horizontally above the first, correct nodes if necessary. The second tier is ready. Repeat these steps with the remaining tiers.

Step 7: Plant the Plants

The practical advantage of such a hanging stand is that water, which can drain down after watering from the upper plant, will drip onto the lower one. So the stand for the pot is needed only on the lowest tier (if you use it outdoors, you can do it without any stands).

Also, coffee filters or similar water-absorbing materials can be placed on the bottom of the pots, so that water can flow out, but the earth will not fall out through the hole.

TIP: To prevent the bottom pot from falling off the stand, if someone accidentally hooks the rope, glue it to the pot with superglue.

Step 8: Transplant the plants into prepared pots.

If you glue the stand of the lower pot before inserting it into a wooden square, it will turn out as in the photo below. If you want the lower pot to be inserted into the tree in the same way as the others, then first transplant the plants, insert the pots into the holes in the tree, and only then glue the stand to the bottom.

Step 9: Hang

1. To hang this structure, pull the ropes through a metal ring and tie a knot, or bend them and tie them around another thin rope.
2. Adjust the rope so that all tiers are horizontal and even.

Such a stand is good, but do not forget that the colors need enough light.

Hanging stand is a wonderful solution for those who love flowers, but do not have enough space for their location.

Pots made of copper

The manufacturing principle is similar to that described in the previous master class, only here copper pipes are used (and they fold into a slightly different pattern). Of course, these materials will be more expensive than straws, and cutting them is not so fast, but in general there is no difficulty, and it turns out beautifully and efficiently.

TIP: If desired, copper tubes can be replaced with plastic tubes for cocktails.

Necessary materials:

• 2 m copper tube with a diameter of approximately 3 mm
• Mini pipe cutter
• Strong thread or fishing line
• Leather lace (length depends on how high you are going to hang the pot)
• Small pot
• Plant

Step weaving:

Step 1: Cut the Tubes

You need to cut the tube into such parts: 20 pieces 4 cm long and 5 pieces 24 cm long. Cut first long pieces, and then small ones, it will be more convenient. Use a measuring tape for measurements.

Step 2: start folding tubes

Tie a knot at one end of the fishing line, and thread the other through 5 small pieces of the tube so that you get a pentagon (that is, you need to draw the fishing line through the first piece of the tube twice).

Step 3: Continuing to make pentagons from small tubes

• Pass the line through another 4 tubes of the same size, and then through the tube of the previously formed pentagon. Now the fishing line is in the tube connecting the pentagons, and you need to bring it through the upper tubes of the newly obtained pentagon to its left edge.
• Do not worry if they do not look perfect, everything will straighten up when you hang and place the pot.
• Then do the same in the same way.   2 more pentagons, all should get 4 pieces, and they should be located as in the photo below.
• Now put the fishing line through the tubes to the bottom of the extreme pentagon and put the tube on it. Next, pass the line through one edge of the other extreme pentagon.

Here's what you should get:

Pass the line through another 2 tubes, and then through the edge of the pentagon, as in the photo below. It should be something like a flower, or rather like this:

Step 4: String Long Tubes

1. Bring the fishing line to one of the highest points in the structure (between the two upper tubes of one of the pentagons). Now you need to thread the line through a long tube.
2. Pass the line through another long tube, and then direct it to the next top point of the pentagon structure (any, not necessarily adjacent).

1. Thread the wire through 2 small tubes to get to the next highest point. Now pass through another long tube, the line will lead to the junction of the long tubes, back down the line through one of the previous two long tubes. Attach the fourth tube in the same way.
2. Now you have to attach the last tube, but first place a pot in the middle of the structure, otherwise then it will not crawl through the honey tubes.
3. Now attach the last tube. Here's what you should get:

Step 5: Fasten the Leather Lace

Cut about 30 cm of the leather cord and attach it to the junction of the long tubes. You can tie a knot, but here for aesthetics they used hot glue, fastening it to the neatly folded end of the cord. Here's what it looks like:

To prevent the bonding point being visible, cut off another small piece of the cord, fasten with hot glue, and wrap around the cord, for which we will hang.

Trim the excess fishing line and cord. And the last action: plant your favorite indoor plants!

Where to hang the pots

And in the summer, plants can be placed both inside and outside the house, but since it is cold now, we will focus on the home. You can green any room of the apartment, kitchen or hallway, the main thing is to take into account the needs of plants, the right amount of light. In fact, each version of the hanging planter can be located in any room of the apartment, so this is only your design decision.

Of course, you can just put the flower pot on the windowsill or bedside table, and it will already look good. But if you try a little more, then you can also decorate the appearance of the pots, and make more optimal use of the space of the apartment, at the same time arranging the plants and not occupying them any extra space (with hanging planters).

Over the workplace

Here the hanging planter does not take up much space, especially since we always try to put the desktop closer to the window, which will really appeal to room colors.

In the bedroom

The bedroom is not only beautiful, but also very useful to place plants. They enrich the room with oxygen. And how nice to wake up among the greenery. Try hanging pots with plants in the bedroom.

In the kitchen

This is ideal, you will never hook or turn over a flowerpot with flowers. The cache-pot looks very homely in the kitchen!

On the balcony or chillout area

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment allows, using floral hanging planters, you can green the whole room and make a mini-garden. But eating the square is not enough - you can arrange a comfortable relaxation area on the balcony.

Cache-pot ideas from improvised materials

If you show imagination, the hanging planter can be made absolutely from any materials at hand. Starting from old cans, bottles to unnecessary towels and T-shirts.

From beads

If you have old beads lying around and you don’t know what to do with them, then here’s one of the solutions to the problem - decorate the planter.

From baskets and pots

Such pots can be used both for a single pot, and for several at once. Such wicker baskets are likely to be found in many homes. They often lie idle, and in vain they will make an excellent suspension for flowers.

Hi-tech cache-pot

Modern suspensions made of concrete or brass will fit into the modern style of the apartment.

From the bottles

Probably the cheapest of all methods, but it looks no worse than the others. We collect empty plastic and glass bottles and make original flower pots.

From moss and shells

Many houses have seashells brought from the seas, and if you drill a small hole and drop small sakulents there, a mini planter will learn. The main thing in quantity, 3-8 pieces will create an excellent hanging garden.

Flowers and other plants in pots can be a real interior decoration and a full-fledged decoration element, and we have already paid attention to this more than once, discussing another Scandinavian apartment in which green ferns turn out to be the main color accents, or at home where flower bouquets support the shades of textiles.

DIY hanging flower pot

We invite you to think right now: but will not your house make a better pair of flower pots? And do not say that you have nowhere to put them: hanging planters are called upon to cope with this problem. They will be discussed today. Let's start with what you can do with your own hands.

From copper tubes

You can start creating your planter with a trip to a hardware store. The blogger Laurel in his master class shares the idea of \u200b\u200bhow to make an incredibly stylish and modern thing from metal corners and tubes. No soldering iron needed!

On the hoop

Do not want to buy anything and go nowhere? Look at the old hoop, universal glue and an unnecessary bowl at home. Blogger Alex talks and shows how to make a pretty nice planter out of all this. The main thing is to check in advance whether your glue is really good.

From plastic bottles

Creating a planter, you can not only buy nothing, but also help nature. Instead of throwing identical bottles out from under your favorite cosmetics, make a system of hanging containers from them. Blogger Lucy gives a master class.

With beads

Another super-budgetary way to make a beautiful flower pot is to tie it from cords and decorate it with large wooden beads. Details are in the master class on A beautiful mess blog. A little tip: choose a waterproof paint for the beads so that it does not wash off when you water or spray the flowers.

From dyed floss

Good old flower pots using the macrame technique can be improved by simply dipping in water with a dye (however, this will only happen with a thing made from natural yarn). The perfect ombre recipe is on the Heart of light blog.

From cans

Green plants should live in green pots. We continue to reuse resources with the help of this master class. Important: cans can rust, so it is worth covering them with varnish. Well, do not forget that the flowerpot is a purely decorative thing, and you can’t plant flowers directly in it.

From the boards

If you own carpentry tools, you can cut a solid hanging shelf from wood using this workshop. The beauty of the design is that you can put ordinary pots in it: excess moisture will fall on the plant below, and the saucer for collecting water will need to be attached only to the bottom (or you can just put another plant on the floor in a tub).

From a cutting board

The last workshop today is the easiest. Blogger Aniko shows how to make a rope and a wooden cutting board, not even a pot, but a hanging shelf for flowers. An elegant and simple idea, but we would advise you to make small grooves on the edges of the board or fasten the threads with a drop of glue so that the board probably does not slip and the flowers do not fall.

You can continue the work by the Josephine knot. It consists of two loops interwoven with each other. First weave a knot of two thick 50-centimeter threads. The threads are stabbed next to the work surface. Next, the first end of the loop is bent and laid on the second. The second end is placed on the first, and then put under it.
