How To Build A Planter With Character And Style
Planters don’t have to be limited to traditional terracotta or plastic containers. You can get creative and choose from a variety of other options. In fact, you can even make your own planter, customizing it with unique features and materials.
Here are some inspirational ideas to get you started.
A practical idea is to build a planter that doubles as a storage box or cabinet. This can be done in 10 easy steps. Begin by creating side frames from wood boards with glue and screws. Then assemble the box frame for the top. Attach the sides, back, and bottom, then align and secure the top.
Install the door and sand the box. Apply a stain and add hinges and a handle. Lastly, make a planting tray and line it with plastic before inserting it into the top.
If you’re not interested in additional storage or a large planter, you can customize your existing pots. An inspiring idea can be found on passionshake. The suggested idea is simple: wrap sisal around a planter and glue it little by little.
This will create a chic planter with a nice texture.
A planter can be customized using paint and leather. Find a detailed description of the project on themerrythrought. The supplies needed are: terracotta pots, paint, brushes, leather, glue, an x-acto knife, and q-tips.
First, paint the pot in the desired color. Then, cut a piece of leather the same size as the rim of the pot. Glue it to the rim and let it dry.
If you prefer a more natural option, consider the project featured on guidecentr. You will need moss, plastic craft cord in assorted colors, a small potted plant with compact roots, and scissors. Lay the moss flat with the green side down. Take the plant from its container and place it in the center of the moss. Wrap the moss around the roots and secure it with the cord.
Keep wrapping until you achieve a nice compact shape. Finally, use the cord to create a hanger and display your new planter.
The crescent moon planter on DIYs is beautiful. You can make a similar one with brown air-dry clay, strong cotton rope, a skewer, and round cork boards. Roll out the clay and place one cork board on top. Cut around the edge and use the cork board to create a crescent moon shape.
Repeat to make another piece. Then, for the bottom, roll out a long strip of clay and roll it along the cork board. Stack three cork boards and use them as a mold to assemble the planter.
Making a planter from scratch doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it can be simple. You could make a minimal concrete planter with a wooden stand. Here’s what you’ll need: quick drying concrete, two empty juice boxes (one smaller, one larger), a bowl and spoon, duct tape, sandpaper, a square wood dowel, a saw, a connector plate, screws, brackets, and a drill.
We’ve covered a detailed tutorial for the project, so check it out for more details.
For small succulents, make cute planters like those on look-what-i-made using crafting wood. You’ll need a saw, drill, yarn, needle, scissors, and sandpaper. Cut the wood into five equal squares.
Drill holes along three sides on four squares and along all edges on the fifth square. Connect the pieces with yarn.
Another option for small succulents is to use PVC pipe sockets as planters. To achieve a similar look as the ones featured on almostmakesperfect, you will need granite effect spray paint, primer, and painter’s tape. Start by priming the sockets and allowing them to dry. Next, tape off half of the socket and spray paint the other portion. You can also use the tape to create various designs and patterns.
Once the paint has dried, the planters are ready to use.
If you want, you can make a planter box that holds several succulents. For this project, you’ll need a window box, an insert, four square aluminum tubes, paint (including gold), a drill with metal bits, brass screws, felt pads, and clamps. You can find a full description of the project on abeautifulmess.
The plant stand is chic, especially considering the color choices.
A wooden pallet can be converted into a planter. You’ll need black landscaping fabric, a staple gun, and scissors. Cut the fabric into sections to fill the pallet’s sections. Staple it in place, making sure it’s not too tight and leaving room for soil.
Cut out excess fabric, then fill the pockets with soil and plants. This idea is from floralandfeather.
