If you like plants and have a lot
in your, but you still didn't find the perfect planter for them, you can chill
as the search is over. This next tutorial will teach you how to make your own
handcrafted planter that is both very modern and minimalistic looking and
simple to make. Your plants will no longer just lie around in your home, as
they will become a part of the interior decoration. For this craft projects you
will need:
·
cardboard;
·
scissors;
·
measuring tape;
·
contact paper (copper colored);
·
plants;
·
knife;
·
glue;
Take your plant and measure the
diameter of the pot and the height of it. If it doesn't have a pot, simply
measure the plastic container in which it is placed. Then mark the measurements
on the piece of cardboard and cut out the shape of the planter. Place the
cardboard on the contact paper to see what size you need to cut it, in order to
cover it nicely. Mark the sides of the planter, by slightly tracing the sides
with a knife. Take off the paper back of the contact paper and place the
cardboard on it. Cover the cardboard with the contact paper and fold the ends
of it as if you were wrapping a gift. Secure to ends and then fold the
cardboard in order to get the shape of your planter. Join the two ends and add
a bit of glue to keep them together. Place your plant inside and your new
geometric planter is done. Looks really cool and stylish!
