Pretty Up Your Plastic Pots!
You know when you go to the nursery and buy plants and they come in those basic plastic pots? You know how you can’t wait to get the plants out of those pots and into something a little nicer as soon as you possibly can? Then you know how you throw those pots out (or recycle them) the moment you’re done with them?
Don’t!
I’ve been throwing them out for years without ever having this idea cross my mind. Until one day it did... If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have seen me working on these a bit last week.
[Psst! If you don’t follow me on Facebook, you should! It’ll be fun, I promise!]
If you buy plants like I do in the Spring and Summer, these little pots are free and plentiful around your house. I was starting to get the deck all cleaned up for the season and I found mine in this pile left behind by the old home owners.
You can whip these things up in a few minutes to match whatever mood you’re in, and then if it doesn’t work out, whatever.
All I used was some craft paint, twine, hot glue, and some conduit pieces that I had left over from my DIY magazine holders.
