My love
for plants is well known, I am surprised how I did not mention it in my about
me page, and dressing them up with cute,
pretty planters is something I have wanted to do for a long time. We can take those dreadful, plastic, containers from drab to fab. Here’s how.
You
will need old containers, look around you house they are always there. Paints, I used
acrylic paint, scissors, old cloth, good old glue or fabric glue will do too. And lots
of imagination can’t do without that.
Painted the plastic containers, directly with
acrylic paint in shades that I love. One of them I covered with cloth, though I will
be honest it was a pain to stick cloth on plastic maybe I should have used
fabric glue. The paint however went on like a dream, but you will need two
coats of paint.
Then
braid the cord just tie a knot at the end, hook it on a door knob and start
braiding it. I felt like those small girls who braid Rapunzel’s hair in Tangled.
Even that was fun!
Wait
for the paint to dry and then paste the cord on. They came out so pretty and
the corner of my balcony looks absolutely fabulous. Once you pop the plant
in it, it’s just magic. I loved and enjoyed this DIY. It was pure glee for me.
Wish you
all happiness and glee always.
Grace.
