To decorate the garden and the house, gardeners often use hanging planters.
Baskets made of vines look very nice, which can be made in a wide variety of shapes, for example, in the form of a ball, cone or rectangular box.
Perhaps, flowerpots made of wire or forged metal will become a harmonious decoration of any landscape design. This option is especially attractive in that it creates the feeling of a certain complete "flight" of the flower bed.
In addition to the shape, material and design of the flowerpot itself, when choosing it, it is important to pay attention to the fastening. In addition, the fastening of containers for hanging flower beds must be very strong and reliable.
This is necessary so that when decorating a flower bed in the yard, you can rotate the plant from time to time to protect it from the sun's rays.
The specifics of planting suspended flower beds
Planting a hanging flower bed depends on the shape of the flowerpot. In simple flowerpots, reminiscent of potted plants, that is, those that have only one open surface, the plants are planted as usual.
It is a completely different matter if the flowerpot is designed to create a hanging ball. In this case, the walls of the frame are filled with moss, which is designed to retain moisture, and the entire basket is covered with a special film, which is most often sold complete with such flowerpots.
Then, in those places where the shoots should subsequently grow, it is necessary to make small holes. The seedlings should be carefully inserted into the holes made, and the soil should be poured into the flowerpot and the plants should be planted at the top.
Having planted flowers to create a hanging flower bed with your own hands, you should water the soil a little and hang the flowerpot in a cool place for several days.
Hanging flowers in the garden: which plants are suitable for hanging flower beds
To create hanging flower beds, it is better to choose plants that are unpretentious in care and do not have special requirements for the condition of the soil.
In addition, when choosing inhabitants for such flowerpots, it is important to consider the ratio of the size of their root system to the size of the pot.
For example, petunia roots grow very quickly, and if the pot for this flower is less than 6-8 liters, then its root system will soon fill the entire volume of the container, due to which the plant may die.
A do-it-yourself hanging flower bed will have a very beautiful design when planting luxuriantly blooming annuals in flowerpots, for example, pansies, petunias, verbena, marigolds, etc.
Almost all domestic plants, including Kalanchoe, nasturtiums, daisies, rejuvenated, stonecrops, etc., also get along well and grow in a hanging planter or flowerpot.
Of course, bright colorful flowers will always be a worthy decoration of any garden or interior, but you should not think that only flowering plants can be used in the design of hanging flower beds. For example, flowerpots with herbs - mint, rosemary, etc. look very beautiful and stylish.
And for those who love originality, we can advise you to make a very unusual, but very useful decoration - a hanging basket with small-fruited vegetables, for example, strawberries, which will bear fruit even on the veranda or balcony.
Specific care for hanging flower beds
Caring for plants planted in hanging pots depends on whether they have pallets.
Baskets without a pallet prevent stagnation of moisture in the soil, which, on the one hand, is good, since it slows down the decay of the root system of plants, and on the other hand, it can lead to a lack of moisture if the flower bed is in a sunny area.
If the flowerpot is equipped with a tray, then you should not water the plant too often, and also install it in darkened areas.
In addition, the soil in hanging flower beds must be periodically fertilized, because. during watering, minerals in it are washed out.
In all other aspects, caring for plants in hanging garden beds is no different from caring for plants planted in open ground - they also need to be watered regularly, eliminate dried leaves and fight pests.
Hanging flower beds are exactly the addition that can give brightness and expressiveness to any suburban area. They can be hung in gazebos and pergolas, on fences and poles, on garden benches, in a recreation area, on a summer terrace, balcony and even on the walls of the house - everywhere they will look beautiful and harmonious.
However, when designing suspended street flower beds, it is also important to take into account the style of the backyard plot. You can beautifully emphasize the beauty of the landscape with bright colors or unusual shapes, or you can focus on the natural beauty of plants.
If such hanging flower beds "settle" in your garden, be sure that this decision will not disappoint you. Beautiful flowers and plants, neat and well-groomed, always delight the eye and create an atmosphere of comfort, and if they are also suspended in beautiful, original flowerpots, then such an arrangement of the site can only be envied.
Old enameled bowls, flower pots, buckets will be used to create planters. The containers are hung on chains and hung as high as possible so that any passer-by can see and appreciate this beauty.
It is such a pleasure to make simple things for the garden with your own hands. Please yourself with a hanging flower pot, it can perfectly decorate the porch of a private house or a balcony in a city apartment. And we will share with you a master class on its manufacture ...
What you will need:
- Wicker basket, you can use an old one or even weave it yourself
- Sphagnum is peat moss, it is used in gardening and construction, you can find and collect it in a marshy forest or purchase it in specialized stores
- Rubber gloves
- land for landing
- Small plastic trash bag
- Bucket of water (for soaking the moss
- Beautiful flowers and plants for planting
Soak the sphagnum fibers in a bucket of water, wring out a little and lay out the bottom of the basket.
Once you've laid out enough moss, place a piece of polyethylene on top and poke small holes in it to help trap some of the moisture.
Fill the remaining space with potting soil.
Start planting your flowers and plants. It seems to me that ampelous petunias or other ampelous flowers will look great in this pot.
We decorate the garden with our own hands. Enjoy)))
wooden planter
For the original hanging planter, you will need 24 bars 15-20 cm long. Laying them in a checkerboard pattern, they form a square box with through holes.
Connect the bars with nails or screws. Ropes are tied to the bars, at the corners of the upper edge of the planter and a homemade planter is hung on any tree in the garden.
Wooden planter with viols:
A wooden planter, similar to a hanging swing, will “hold” an entire flower bed with pansies (violas) on itself
burlap pots (tarpaulin, felt)
A heavy fabric, such as burlap, is great for making rustic planters. All that is needed for this is to cut two blanks from the fabric in the form of a semicircle or square, sew them like a pocket and hang them on the fence.
For hanging, you can use a fabric strip sewn to the upper edge of the planter or a wire threaded into the fabric.
Hanging planters for the garden made of felt
In a felt pot, you can put a pot with garden annuals.
New outfit for the watering can.
If you have old watering cans or buckets with basins lying around in your country house, do not throw them away, treat the surface with rust sandpaper and paint them in bright colors. Inside it is fashionable to put pots (or bags of soil) and flowers. And these items will turn into funny pots
You can hang them on racks, trees, fences
How to make a hanging flower pot from a plastic container
1. Materials and tools. Plafond itself. Galvanized wire with a diameter of 2 mm from the latest project. Key ring. Round nose and pliers.
2. We prepare three pieces of wire 25 cm long.
3. With the help of round-nose pliers at one end of each wire, we bend a round eye.
4. At the other end of each wire, we make a “P”-shaped bend. After all the modifications, the length of the three blanks should be the same.
5. Using an awl or the sharp end of scissors, we make three holes with our own hands in the area of \u200b\u200bthe neck of the ceiling.
6. Insert "P" -shaped hooks into the holes
7. We put wire blanks on the key ring. The pot is ready.
8. We plant plants. Plants can be varied, but it should be noted that the pot does not provide drainage and, if the plant requires frequent transplantation, it may be difficult to extract the plant in this pot design.
Pots can be built not only from cans, but also from plastic bottles(the most common source material. which is always at hand).
Paint the surface of the pots
You can decorate the pots with twine
To do this, we need a plastic bucket of ice cream or other products: 
and you will also need jute twine
Glue the beginning of the skein together to fasten the handle.
And we begin to wrap the twine around the bucket. Make sure that each circle fits snugly together, without gluing the twine. When you have reached the bottom of the bucket, you can glue the last few circles, and also glue the end of the twine well.
Then it remains to make 4 holes and hang a bucket-planter decorated with twine.
Wicker flower pot
You can braid a flower pot to hang it in a simple way that imitates macrame.
In order to make a hanging planter, we need about 10 pieces of thick rope, about 90-120 cm long, several large buttons and a metal ring. And decide on the size yourself.
Instructions:
We fold our pieces of rope in half and fasten with a simple loop as shown in the figure:
Then select two loops located side by side and fasten their adjacent ends with a button, as shown in the figure. It is better to place buttons at a distance of 5-7 cm from the ring.
Good housewives strive to make their home comfortable and beautiful. Flowers in interesting flower pots on the windows are one of the ways to make your home cozy. Skilled hands can build pots from almost nothing. Waste container, which is just right to throw in the trash, easily turns into a design masterpiece that makes a good impression on the hosts and guests.
How to create a masterpiece from nothing?
In every house there are old things that are a pity to throw away. They can be given a second life by making. It is enough to wash the container, remove the stickers from it, make a hole in the bottom - and the new house for indoor plants is ready.
It is now fashionable to plant flowers in worn shoes. Especially comfortable rubber. You can’t put such flower pots made with your own hands from improvised materials in an apartment, but they will fit perfectly for the street. 
DIY plastic bottle pot
Usually they make pots for seedlings, but they are also suitable for creating real flower pots.
The easiest option:
- Cut off the top of the bottle.
- Poke a hole in the cork with a thick needle to allow excess water to drain.
- Insert the top with the twisted cork into the bottom of the bottle with the neck down.
A simple pot is ready.
You can also make a flower pot in the form of a large glass with your own hands. The disadvantage of such a product is the absence of a hole for water drainage. So that the plants do not die, a good layer of drainage should be covered at the bottom and such representatives of the flora that are not afraid of overflow should be placed in a homemade planter. It can be a compact houseplant - anything except a cactus.
The best drainage in such cases is activated charcoal. It effectively absorbs excess water and prevents roots from rotting. Activated charcoal can be purchased in large packs from a hobby store.
You will need:
- bottle;
- computer disk;
- glue gun;
- dye.
Manufacturing:
- Cut the bottle in half.
- If desired, make the edges curly in the form of teeth or waves.
- Apply glue to the bottle cap and stick to the center of the disc.
- Paint with spray paint.
You can also paint the second part of the bottle, then you get another flower pot.
Now there are paints that imitate stone, wood, metal. They can decorate an ordinary plastic flower pot.
Tin cans in progress
Flower pots from tin cans are inappropriate in a classic interior, but they will fit to decorate a loft-style home or a country house. Cans of baby food, paint, canned food are durable and lightweight. If you remove the label from them, even without painting they will look decent.
If the vessel is damaged, covered with glue, scratches, rust, you will have to renew it. The easiest way is to paint. Pattern and color can be any. The main thing is that the owners like the finished product.
old crockery
Pots, plates, teapots and any utensils can act as flower pots - they can also be made with your own hands very simply. It is enough to update the surface with acrylic paint and make holes in the bottom. Making a new home for the flowers is a great way to benefit from a beaten mug or bowl.
Teapots can be effectively hung by the handle, creating hanging pots with ampelous plants.
Planters and pots that you can make with your own hands from old dishes, photo:
There are special drills for ceramic tiles, but they are thick and not suitable for processing mugs.
Holes in a ceramic or porcelain cup are made with an electric or hand drill by inserting a glass drill into it:
- A piece of paper is glued to the bottom of the cup.
- Periodically, the drilling site is poured with water so that the tool does not overheat.
A large mug with a massive bottom is drilled with a drill with a tile drill in small modes, without pressing the tool. During operation, the container must be upside down.
Grow only in transparent containers. Old glass vases cope with this role. You will need a special glass drill. To prevent glass dust from spreading around the room, the vase must be placed upside down in a bucket filled with water, so that it is completely hidden in the liquid. Water will protect against dust, dirt and overheating, and reduce the likelihood of cracking the vase.
The drill is turned on at the smallest speed and allows the tool to enter the glass on its own, without exerting physical effort. The slower the tip moves through the thickness of the glass, the less likely it is that the container will crack.
The easiest way is to drill dishes made of metal. Pots are made from steel and aluminum teapots, cans, pots, cups, mugs. Metal can be drilled even without a drill and a drill, using a metal screw and a conventional screwdriver.
Cement and rags - who would have thought?
It is not known who first came up with the idea of making a street flower vase from old rags and concrete, but honor and praise to an unknown inventor. His technique makes it possible to produce exquisite garden decorations from waste material.
To make outdoor flower pots with your own hands you will need:
- rag made of fabric that absorbs water,
- any container (for example, an old bucket),
- coloring pigment for concrete admixture,
- mixing container,
- strong polyethylene.
To stir the solution, you need a paint spatula. An electric drill with an appropriate nozzle will greatly simplify the work.
Making a vase:
- sift the sand from debris and large stones;
- put a rag in the container and make a mark at the level to which it reached;
- pour water into the container up to the mark;
- pour sand and cement 1: 1;
- stir;
- wrap a bucket or other container that you have chosen to make a vase with polyethylene;
- dip the rag into the cement mortar so that it is completely saturated
- after 10 minutes, remove the rag and let the excess solution drain;
- put the rag on the form, wrapped with a film, and turned upside down;
- straighten the fabric so that the bottom is even, and bend the edges with arbitrary folds or sharp creases;
- leave the product for 1-3 days;
- remove the cloth from the container.
Do-it-yourself planters made of cement and fabric, video:
The technology of making a flowerpot from improvised materials will be quickly understood by those who made flower pots from vinyl records, melting their edges over the fire, after which they sagged in beautiful folds. Now that the records have become a rarity, inventive people have figured out how to make similar products from ordinary fabric.
Ideas for floor vases
Floor vases are used to decorate apartments and country houses. In order not to purchase a vessel in a store, you can use the well-known papier-mâché - a mixture of wet paper with PVA. The substance is smeared on a base of any durable moisture-proof material.
Papier-mache allows you to create complex shapes and specific relief. If a smooth surface is needed, the dried product is sanded with an abrasive cloth and a leveling layer is applied.
The retro style vase is made from an old aluminum can, spray-painted brown. In the same way, you can decorate a bucket for flowers.
In a metal vessel, you can put both artificial and natural flowers. If you cut off the neck and drill a few small holes in the bottom, the can can be covered with earth and used to grow live ornamental plants. Aluminum is cut with a circular saw, metal shears, a hacksaw for metal, an electric jigsaw.
DIY garden vases
Garden vases are easiest to cast from concrete. The surface of the product is decorated with any natural materials, in this case pebbles.
Such vessels are durable, take any shape in the hands of the master, have a solid weight, so they are not blown away by the wind and do not overturn.
Manufacturing technology:
- choose two containers of different sizes, one of which fits freely into the other with a large gap;
- treat both containers with sunflower oil so that the solution does not stick to their surfaces;
- mix sand with cement 1:1;
- dilute with water to the consistency of thick sour cream;
- pour the solution to the bottom of a large container;
- fix a piece of plastic pipe to form a hole for drainage;
- wait until the solution sets;
- put a small container in a large one;
- fill the gap with concrete;
- leave for 24 hours;
- remove the inner container;
- spray concrete with water;
After a week, the finished flowerpot can be shaken out of the mold, covered with earth and planted in it.
pot decoration
When it comes to planters, color is often more important than shape and even size. A beautiful drawing makes you pay attention to the design of flower pots.
Many grow indoor flowers in ordinary red clay, believing that such containers "breathe", so the plants are more comfortable in them. There is some truth in this. But even such a pot can be given a bright personality, and without compromising useful properties.
Making a dull flower pot with multi-colored pebbles, as in the photo, will not be difficult to do with your own hands:
It is not necessary to cover the clay with an airtight layer of varnish or paint. You can take a glue gun and paste over the walls with beautiful pebbles or small cuts.
An interesting option for decorating flowerpots is eggshell. It is very important to free it from the film before work, rinse and dry well. The shells are glued with the convex side outward to the PVA glue.
The final step is coloring. You can paint both the shell itself and the walls of the pot.
Perhaps the most sophisticated way of decorating is decoupage. This technique involves the use of paper and can be used on any pot, including plastic and corrugated.
Decoupage pot decor:
- Clean the surface of the pot from dirt and degrease with acetone.
- Cover with base paint.
- Cut out the necessary motives from paper.
- Glue the paper to the surface.
- Varnish.

You can decorate a flower pot with your own hands using lace. It gives sophistication to any product, even a cheap plastic pot. It is easy to work with this material. The container is covered with PVA glue and the fabric is glued.
Instead of lace, you can take burlap or combine these two materials, as well as additionally decorate the fabric with beads or beads. All additional elements are also glued to PVA glue.
For flowers with your own hands. Almost all families grow indoor plants or flowers in the garden. It looks very interesting if standard flower pots are placed in an unusual planter. Of course, there are a lot of bright and original planter models on the market, but any person wants to bring individuality and some zest to their home or garden. There are a lot of options on how to make a planter with your own hands, it remains only to choose the material that will look most appropriate in your home or yours.
Advice! It is worth remembering that a planter, unlike a flower pot, does not have special holes in the bottom from which water could pour out after watering. Do not forget to drain it from the pots so that the roots of the plants do not rot. Free space between pots and flower pot or another container in which flowers grow, usually lined with moss or gravel so that the pot does not “dangle” inside.

Leather hanging planters are easy to manufacture, but look very original. Add some style to your home decor with this wonderful leather planter. It can definitely become exactly the highlight that makes the interior unique.
Master class: leather hanging planter
Necessary materials:
- Distilled (purified) water
- Tracing paper (21x28 cm) and 4 pieces of strong rope (or leather laces), each approximately 90-120 cm long
- Leather dye (optional) and gloves
- Leather (30x30 cm square)
- Packing tape, a simple pencil and a stationery knife
- Computer and printer (for template printing) and template
- Sponge for wetting and coloring
Step by step diagram:
Step 1: Preparation and placement
Print out the hanger plant template on tracing paper. Lay the template down on the wrong side of the leather and choose the ideal placement (not too close to the sides to avoid any imperfections in the leather).
Step 3: Soften the skin
Dip the sponge into the purified water, and then evenly apply moisture to the skin. Repeat this step at least three times until the skin looks like it can't take in more water. This will soften the skin, and facilitate our work on weaving pots.
Step 4: Template transfer
Now place the template in the place you selected earlier and tape it on the sides so as not to move to the side. With a simple pencil, direct the lines printed on the tracing paper by pressing the pencil with medium force. Be careful and don't miss any line.
Step 5. Cutting
Now peel off the template from the skin to see how the design has transferred to the surface of the skin. Using a utility knife, make cuts in place of the lines.
For convenience, you can first cut a circle along the outer contour. The cuts should be clearly drawn along the drawn lines.
Step 6. Coloring
Note: This step is optional, depending on the desired color and materials at hand. In our case, we dyed the skin dark brown.
After the skin is dry from moisturizing (at least one hour), apply the desired dye. Apply the paint with a sponge (wearing gloves) until the desired effect is achieved.
As the skin dries, pull it back a little to give it a voluminous shape. You will start to see the skin deform, keep going pulling and stretching it to create the shape of the pot as it should be when finished.
Step 8: Hang Up
- After, how the skin is completely dry, and a planter shape is formed, punch four holes in the upper part to thread the ropes through them.
- You must place them evenly, at the same distance from each other, so that the suspended flower pot does not then lean to one side.
- Take four ropes (regular or leather) and on each of them tie a knot, tightening it tightly at the end.
Step 9: Decorate and Mount
Add tassels, beads, rivets- everything that is necessary to achieve the desired style in the end. At the top of the hanging cords, gather all four of them together and tie into a knot.
You can use this knot to hook onto a ceiling hook and/or ring. See if the length of the pendant suits you, if necessary, tie the knot at a different level.
Straw hanging planter
This planter will suit the interior with innovative notes. Transform and complete your home decor with their neon cocktail straws and strings. And for this, even 15 minutes will be enough for you!
Necessary materials:
- neon threads
- neon straws (8 pieces per pot)
- flower pots for indoor plants (we used white ones made of melamine)
- house plants (succulents)
- scissors
How to weave - instructions:
Step 1: Cut the threads
Cut eight pieces of neon cord, each 90-150 cm long, depending on how close to the ceiling you want to place the pots.
Step 2: Making a Knot
Take the newly cut threads together and tie a knot at one end, resulting in a tassel from a small excess of cord at one end.
Step 3: Divide the threads into sections
Lay out the rope in four sections (similar to the shape of a cross). That is, two ropes in each section.
Step 4: Cut the Straws
- Cut off in straws that small part that is separated by a spring. Then cut it in half. Take eight of these small pieces and stretch a thread into each of them.
- Move the straws to the center(knot) and on every two threads (in sections) make a knot. Here's what it will look like:
- Lay out the threads again in the shape of a cross, two threads per section. Only now, to form a section, take one thread from the previously adjacent sections.
- Cut the straws into pieces (total need 16), each of which should be the size of a piece of straw, which is separated by a spring.
- In each of 8 pieces of straws thread and make knots on the threads from one section.
- Similarly, lay out 2 strands in the shape of a cross, one each from adjacent sections.
Add a third and final set of straws to the strands and tie adjacent strands (similar to the previous set).
Step 5: Hang Up
It remains only to hang the pots and insert a flowerpot with indoor flowers into it. Make a few pieces, then together they will create a beautiful composition.
And neon straws will also glow a little at night, which will look very original.
Macrame flower pot
The macrame technique has, probably, the most variations in the manufacture of planters. They can be very simple, which can be done in just 10-15 minutes with your own hands, or complex with many hours of work. Practice weaving first on the lungs, hone your skills, and then improve.
Master class: DIY macrame weaving
Macrame is back in fashion, as is needlework in general. In this master class, you will learn how to make a hanging planter with your own hands using this technique. There is nothing complicated, just follow the instructions and you will succeed!
Necessary materials:
- 3 cords 2.5 m long and 0.5 cm thick
- Metal ring with a diameter of 2.5-3 cm
- Hook (on wall, slot) to hold macrame while working
- Scissors and colored rope
- Glass pot in the form of a ball with a diameter of 20 cm
- Drainage stones and soil
- House plants that climb (e.g. Stephanotis)
- Decorative moss (optional)
Step-by-step instruction:
Step 1: Thread the ropes into the ring
Pull all three ropes through the metal ring until the ring is in the middle of the ropes. Thus, you now have six ropes to work with, each 1.25 m long.
Step 2: Making a Knot
- Of all tie a knot with six ropes right next to the ring. Make it as tight as possible, for this, after forming the knot, tighten each rope separately.
- Hang the ring on a hook (if there is no hook, then tie it to a cabinet handle or anything like that with a separate small rope, the main thing is to fix it). This will allow you to use both hands while working.
Step 3: Divide the Cords into Groups
- Separate the cords into three groups, two in each. Tie a knot in each pair 45 cm below the ring. You will have three knots at the same level, make sure they are tight.
- Take one rope from two adjacent pairs and tie them together about 12 cm below the previous knot.
Repeat the previous step with the rest of the ropes so that they are all tied together. This will create a zigzag pattern between the cords.
Step 4: End Node
- Approximately 12 -15 cm below the second set of knots, gather all six ropes together to make one big final knot. Pull each cord individually to make the knot as tight as possible.
- See what the length you need to leave and cut the ropes to the right size.
- Wrap the multi-colored threads around the rope in several places, creating blocks a few centimeters long. This stage is decorative and is optional. Now the macrame pendant is ready and you can place the pot in it.
Step 5: Planting Indoor Flowers
At the bottom of the glass pot, place stones for drainage to make a layer about 2.5 cm high. Fill the rest of the bowl with soil.
- Remove the plant from the temporary pot and place in a glass jar. Pour water over and press down on the soil to compress it. You can place decorative moss on top of the soil, optional.
- Place the glass bowl with the flower over the lowest node and spread the ropes to the sides to fix well.
- Straighten the plant if it is tangled in the ropes. Hang and admire the beauty of the plant and your own product.
Macrame schemes for flowerpots
Here are a few more schemes for those who want to master the weaving of macrame. They are very simple - suitable even for beginners. Look at the photo and repeat. A clothesline or thin twine is perfect as a material. The minimum consumption for a hanging planter is 10 meters of rope.
Wooden planter
The tree also gives a fairly wide range of actions, various shapes, colors. Choose what you like best and create.
Master class: hanging wooden planter
This hanging planter will wonderfully complement your home interior. It is done quickly and simply, the materials also will not take a lot of money. The best solution for an apartment.
Necessary materials:
- Wooden plate and saw
- Home plants and flowerpots
- Rope and metal ring
- Drill and sandpaper
- Paint and brush
Step-by-step manufacturing scheme:
Step 1: Making Wooden Squares
Consider how many tiers your flower stand will have ( there are 4 of them, but you can do more or less ). Choose the houseplants you want to place there.
Based on all this, cut out the required number of squares from a wooden plate.
- To do this, turn the pot upside down and place it on a plate, circle and leave on the sides about 5 cm, thus determining the size of the square.
- With a saw make squares.
Step 2: Making holes for the pots
- You already have a circle drawn on the tree from the top of the pot, now you need to draw another one in the middle of it so that their centers coincide, but the diameter of the new one was about 1-2 cm smaller.
- This value depends on how quickly the pot that you will place in the stand increases to the top, and also you want so that the wooden square is almost at the very top, or in the center of the pot.
- You can take another pot, suitable for the size of the stencil, and circle it.
- Cut out this new circle with a jigsaw. For convenience, you can first make a hole with a drill and, starting from it, work with a jigsaw.
- The pots should now fit inside the squares.
Step 3: Hanging Holes
At the corners of the squares you need to make holes for the rope so that they can be hung. To do this, use drill with a diameter of up to 1 cm.
Step 4: Paint the Tree
Using sandpaper, remove the roughness and irregularities that have formed after sawing and drilling. Now the tree can be painted or simply treated with an antiseptic. In this case, dark brown paint was used.
Step 5: Paint the Pots
Pots can also be painted, if desired. Sloppy strokes of white paint look good on plain clay pots. This step can be skipped. 
Step 6: Putting it all together
In order to fasten the wooden squares together, we need a thick rope: cut 4 ropes of 180 cm each (for a given number of tiers). Pull one rope into each corner hole of one of the squares and tie a knot at the end, this will be the lower part of the structure.
Tie one more on each rope. knot at 25-30 cm above the previous one and thread the ropes into the holes of the next square. Check that everything is even, and the second tier is clearly horizontal above the first, correct the knots if necessary. The second tier is ready. Repeat these steps for the remaining tiers. 
Step 7: Plant Your Plants
A practical advantage of such a hanging stand is that water that may flow down after watering from the top plant will drip onto the lower one. So a pot stand is needed only on the lowest tier (if you use it outdoors, you can do without stands at all).
You can also put coffee filters or similar absorbent materials on the bottom of the pots so that the water can flow out, but the earth will not fall out through the hole.
TIP: To prevent the bottom pot from falling out of the stand if someone accidentally catches the rope, glue it to the pot with superglue.
Step 8: Transplant the plants into prepared pots.
If you glue the base of the lower pot before inserting it into the wooden square, it will turn out like in the photo below. If you want the bottom pot to be inserted into the tree in the same way as the rest, then first transplant the plants, insert the pots into the holes in the tree, and only then glue the stand to the bottom one. 
Step 9: Hang Up
- To hang this structure, pull the ropes through the metal ring and tie a knot, or bend them over and tie them around with another thin rope.
- Adjust the rope so that all tiers are horizontal and even.
Such a stand is good, just do not forget that the flowers need a sufficient amount of light.
A hanging stand is a wonderful solution for those who love flowers but don't have enough space to place them.
Pots made of copper tubes
The manufacturing principle is similar to that described in the previous master class, only copper tubes are used here (and they fold into a slightly different pattern). Of course, these materials will be more expensive than straws, and cutting them is not so fast, but in general there is no difficulty, and it turns out beautifully and with high quality. 
TIP: If desired, copper pipes can be replaced with plastic straws for cocktails
Necessary materials:
- 2 m copper tube with a diameter of approximately 3 mm
- Mini pipe cutter
- Strong thread or fishing line
- Leather cord (length depends on how high you intend to hang the pot)
- small pot
- Plant
Step by step weaving:
Step 1: Cut the tubes
You need to cut the tube into the following pieces: 20 pieces 4 cm long and 5 pieces 24 cm long. Cut long pieces first, and then small ones, it will be more convenient. Use a measuring tape for measurements.
Step 2: Start folding the tubes
Tie a knot at one end of the fishing line, and thread the other through 5 small pieces of the tube so that you get a pentagon (that is, the line must be passed through the first piece of the tube twice).
Step 3: Continue making pentagons with small tubes
- Pass the line through 4 tubes of the same size, and then through the tube of the previously formed pentagon. Now the line is in the tube connecting the pentagons, and you need to bring it through the top tubes of the pentagon you just made to its left edge.
- Don't worry if they don't look perfect, everything will straighten out when you hang and place the pot.
- Then do it in the same way 2 more pentagons, in total there should be 4 pieces, and they should be located as in the photo below.
- Now bring the line through the tubes to the bottom of the extreme pentagon and put a tube on it. Then pass the fishing line through one edge of the other extreme pentagon.
Here's what should happen:
Pass the line through 2 more tubes, and then through the edge of the pentagon, as in the photo below. It should look something like a flower, or rather like this:
Step 4: Stringing Long Tubes
- Lead the fishing line to one of the highest points of the structure (between the two upper tubes of one of the pentagons). Now the fishing line needs to be threaded through a long tube.
- Pass the line through another long tube, and then direct it to the next highest point of the pentagon structure (any, not necessarily adjacent).
- Pass the wire through 2 small tubes to get to the next high point. Now pass through another long tube, the line will come out to the junction of the long tubes, return the line back down through one of the previous two long tubes. Attach the fourth tube in the same way.
- Now it remains for you to attach the last tube, but first place a pot in the middle of the structure, otherwise it will not fit through the honey tubes later.
- Now attach the last tube. Here's what should happen:
Step 5: Attaching the Leather Cord
Cut about 30 cm of leather cord and attach it to the connection point of the long tubes. You can tie a knot, but here, for aesthetics, hot glue was used, fastening it to a neatly folded end of the cord. Here's what it looks like:
To hide the glued area, cut another small piece of cord, secure with hot glue, and wrap around the cord to hang from.
Trim off excess line and cord. And the last step: plant your favorite houseplants!
Where to hang pots
Moreover, in summer, plants can be placed both inside and outside the house, but since it is cold now, we will focus on home ones. You can green any room of the apartment, kitchen or hallway, the main thing is to take into account the needs of plants, the right amount of light. In fact, each version of the hanging planter can be placed in any room of the apartment, so this is only your design decision.
Of course, you can just put a flower pot on a windowsill or bedside table, and it will already look good. But if you try a little more, then you can decorate the appearance of the pots, and make better use of the space of the apartment, at the same time arranging the plants and not taking up extra space with them (with hanging planters).
Above the workplace
Here, a hanging planter will not take up much space, especially since we always try to put the desktop closer to the window, which will be very popular with indoor flowers.
In the bedroom
The bedroom is not only beautiful, but also very useful to place plants. They enrich the room with oxygen. And how nice it is to wake up among the greenery. Try hanging plant pots in your bedroom.
In the kitchen
This is ideal, you will never hook or turn over a flowerpot. The planter looks very homely in the kitchen!
On the balcony or in the chill-out area
If the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment allows, then with the help of flower hanging flower pots, you can plant trees in the whole room and make a mini-garden. But spruce squares are not enough - you can arrange a comfortable seating area on the balcony.
Planter ideas from improvised materials
If you show imagination, then a hanging planter can be made absolutely from any materials at hand. Starting from old cans, bottles to unwanted towels and T-shirts.
From beads
If you have old beads lying around and you don’t know what to do with them, then here is one of the options for solving the problem - we decorate the pots.
From baskets and pots
Such pots can be used both for a single pot, and for several at once. Such wicker baskets are sure to be found in many homes. They often lie idle, but in vain they will make an excellent suspension for flowers.
High-tech planter
Modern suspensions made of concrete or brass will fit into the modern style of the apartment.
From bottles
Probably the cheapest of all methods, but it looks no worse than the others. We collect empty plastic and glass bottles and make original flower pots.
From moss and shells
Many houses have shells brought from the seas, and if you drill a small hole and plant small succulents there, a mini-planter will learn. The main thing is the quantity, 3-8 pieces will create an excellent hanging garden.
Decorating with flowers both interiors and landscapes is in demand by many people. They are successfully used by designers to implement their projects. For a more harmonious fit, they use flower pots with their own hands, which they create at master classes according to their sketches. But not only they use such techniques, ordinary people successfully come up with complex designs from what is “at hand”.
Types of pots by material
Hanging decorations should be chosen based on the location, the allowable weight per support, the amount of water consumed by the plant and the temperature regime. The materials are:
There is a large assortment on the market, but some people prefer to make outdoor hanging flower pots with their own hands and admire their creation. Hangers for pots are made from chains, ropes, metal rods and from cuts of fabric, twine and yarn using the macrame technique.
Cage, chandelier or wooden boxes
The frameless hanging planter is formed directly from coconut fibre. The roots of a plant with a lump of soil are wrapped with a piece of polyethylene, then a fiber winding is made on top of it. Everything is fixed at the base of the plant and placed with suspensions in the chosen place. For the base frame, you can take a basket of wire, metal rods or vines. To make it yourself, you can use the following materials:
- Rigid wire.
- Pieces of plastic pipe.
- Unnecessary plastic arcs from the greenhouse.
- Willow or newspaper tube vine.
- Wooden planks.
- Or whatever your fantasy tells you.
