All indoor plants need flowerpots or containers. I think every home has at least one flower that you want to see lush and green in a beautiful flowerpot.
But we know how much growing containers cost. Don’t give up your favorite plants because of this.
Many people, in order to save money, plant their plants in accessible containers. These are plastic buckets, paint cans, saucepans, teapots, everything you have in the household. This is good, but the appearance leaves some room for improvement.
The good news is that all of these containers can be decorated with your own hands at minimal cost. What can be done: paint, apply a stencil, create a mosaic with broken tiles, decorate with rubber napkins or strips from a bath mat - I have already done and shown all this.
There is another affordable option - use an old sheet for decoration. I will make a flowerpot from a liter plastic bucket of salted cabbage.
1) First, I removed the handles and prepared a square piece of fabric. Its size should be large enough to wrap the bucket with an allowance.
2) Next, I prepared the solution. I poured water into a bowl and added PVA glue. The proportions are by eye, but approximately 2:1. Place the fabric in the solution until completely wet. Squeezed out excess moisture.
3) Turned the bucket upside down, laid the fabric on top and tied it at the neck with an elastic band. The rim on the bucket holds it in place well.
4) I straightened the fabric and made even folds. There was a gathering on top, I trimmed it with scissors, stepping back 2 cm from the edge of the bucket.
5) Then I used another brush with glue to go over the assemblies.
6) I tore strips about 4 cm wide and 20 cm long from a white sheet and soaked them in an adhesive solution.
7) Then she squeezed and twisted flagella from the strips, which she rolled into a spiral. The result was roses.
8) I left this thing to dry. The next day everything dried well and the fabric hardened.
9) Hot glued the roses along the elastic band. Then I sprayed varnish from a can onto the vase. If the fabric is white, then white paint will do.
As you can see, if you look at unnecessary things differently, you can see something more.
All the best!
