To decorate the garden and the house, summer residents often use hanging pots.
Vine baskets look very beautiful, which can be made in a wide variety of shapes, for example, in the form of a ball, a cone or a 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 kind of 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
The planting of a hanging flower bed depends on the shape of the flowerpot. Plants are planted in simple flowerpots that resemble indoor flower pots, that is, those that have only one open surface.
It is quite another 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 from which shoots should subsequently grow, small holes must be made. The seedlings should be carefully pushed 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 unpretentious plants in the care that do not have special requirements for the condition of the soil.
In addition, when choosing inhabitants for such flowerpots, it is important to take into account 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 flowerpot for this flower is less than 6-8 liters, then its root system will soon fill the entire volume of the container, which may cause the plant to die.
A do-it-yourself hanging flower bed will have a very beautiful design when planting lushly blooming summer plants in flowerpots, for example, pansies, petunias, verbena, marigolds, etc.
Also, almost all houseplants, including Kalanchoe, nasturtiums, daisies, rejuvenated, stonecrops, etc., get along well and grow in a hanging planter or flowerpot.
Of course, bright colorful flowers will always become 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 spicy herbs - mint, rosemary, etc., look very beautiful and stylish.
And those who love originality can be advised 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 on the balcony.
The specifics of care for hanging flower beds
The care of plants planted in hanging planters depends on whether they have pallets.
Baskets without a pallet prevent moisture stagnation in the soil, which, on the one hand, is good, as it slows down the rotting of the plant root system, 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 pallet, then you should not water the plant too often, and also install it in darkened areas.
In addition, the soil in suspended flower beds must be fertilized periodically, because during watering, minerals are washed out in it.
In all other respects, caring for plants in hanging garden beds is no different from caring for plants planted in open ground - they also need to be regularly watered, removed dried leaves and pest control.
Hanging flower beds are just that addition that can add brightness and expressiveness to any suburban area.They can be hung in gazebos and pergolas, on fences and on poles, on garden benches, in a recreation area, on a summer terrace, balcony and even on the walls of a house - everywhere they will look beautiful and harmonious.
However, when decorating suspended street flower beds, it is also important to take into account the style features of the infield. You can beautifully emphasize the beauty of the landscape with the help of 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 solution 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 hung in beautiful, original flowerpots, then such an arrangement of the site can only be envied.
Old enamel bowls, flower pots, buckets will be used to create pots. 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 do simple things for your garden with your own hands. Treat yourself to 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 making it ...
What you need:
- Wire 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 swampy forest or purchase it in specialized stores
- Rubber gloves
- Land for planting
- Small plastic trash bag
- Bucket of water (for soaking moss
- Beautiful flowers and plants for planting
Soak the sphagnum fibers in a bucket of water, squeeze out a little and lay out the bottom of the basket.
After you have laid out enough moss, place a piece of plastic on top and make small holes in it to help trap some of the moisture.
Fill in the remaining space with soil to plant the plants.
Start planting your flowers and plants. It seems to me that ampelous petunias or other ampelous flowers will look great in this planter.
We decorate the garden with our own hands. Enjoy)))
wooden planter
For the original hanging pots, 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 top edge of the planter and a homemade planter is hung on any tree in the garden.
Wooden pots with viols:
A wooden planter, similar to a hanging swing, will "hold" on itself a whole flower bed with pansies (viols)
pots made of burlap (tarpaulin, felt)
Thick fabrics like burlap are great for making planters in a rustic country style. All you need to do this: cut out two blanks from the fabric in the form of a semicircle or a square, sew them like a pocket and hang them on the fence.
For hanging, you can use a cloth strip sewn to the top edge of the planter or a wire threaded into the fabric.
Hanging garden planters made of felt
In felt pots, 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 it away, treat the surface with rust-proof sandpaper and paint them in bright colors. It is fashionable to put pots (or bags with soil) and flowers inside. And these items will turn into fun pots
You can hang them on racks, trees, fences
How to make a hanging flower pot from a plastic container
1. Materials and tools. The plafond itself. Galvanized wire with a diameter of 2 mm from the latest project. Key ring. Round nose pliers and pliers.
2. Prepare three pieces of wire 25 cm long.
3. Using round nose pliers, bend a round eyelet at one end of each wire.
4. At the other end of each wire we make a "P" -shaped bend. After all modifications, the length of the three blanks should be the same.
5. With the help of an awl or the sharp end of scissors, we make three holes with our own hands in the area of the neck of the plafond.
6. Insert "U" -shaped hooks into the holes
7. We put on the wire blanks on the key ring. The pot is ready.
8. We plant the plants. Plants can be varied, but it should be borne in mind that there is no drainage in the pot and, if the plant requires frequent transplantation, in this pot design, it may be difficult to extract the plant.
Planters 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 also decorate the pots with twine.
To do this, we need a plastic bucket for ice cream or other products: 
and you will also need jute twine
Glue the beginning of the skein together to attach the handle.
And we begin to wrap the twine around the bucket. Make sure that each circle fits snugly against each other, without glueing the twine. When you have reached the bottom of the bucket, the last few circles can be glued, and we also glue the end of the twine well.
Then it remains to make 4 holes and hang the bucket-pots decorated with twine.
Wicker planter for flowers
You can braid a flower pot so that you can hang it in a simple way that mimics 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 the two adjacent buttonholes and fasten the adjacent ends with a button as shown. 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 pots on the windows are one of the ways to make your home cozy. Skillful hands can build a planter out of almost nothing. A waste container, which is just right to throw in the trash, easily turns into a design masterpiece that makes a pleasant impression on the hosts and guests.
How to create a masterpiece out of nothing?
In every house there are old things that are a pity to throw away. They can be given a second life by crafting. 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.
Nowadays it is fashionable to plant flowers in used shoes. The rubber is especially comfortable. You can't put such flower pots made with your own hands from scrap materials in an apartment, but they will fit perfectly for the street. 
DIY plastic bottle pot
Usually they are used for seedling pots, but they are also suitable for making real flower pots.
The easiest option:
- Cut off the top of the bottle.
- Use a thick needle to make a hole in the plug to drain off excess water.
- Insert the top with the screwed cap into the bottom of the bottle with the neck down.
An unpretentious 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. To prevent the plants from dying, you need to fill a good layer of drainage at the bottom and place such representatives of the flora in a homemade pots that are not afraid of overflow. It can be a compact indoor plant - anything other than a cactus.
The best drainage in such cases is activated carbon. It effectively absorbs excess water and prevents roots from rotting. You can buy activated charcoal in large packs at 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 glue 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 be used to decorate an ordinary plastic flower pot.
Tin cans in use
Flowerpots made from cans are inappropriate in a classic interior, but they will do for decorating a loft-style home or a country house. Jars for baby food, paint, canned food are durable and lightweight. If you remove the label from them, they will look decent even without painting.
If the vessel is damaged, covered with glue, scratches, rust, you will have to renew it. The easiest way is to paint. The pattern and color can be any. The main thing is that the owners like the finished product.
Old utensils
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 renew the surface with acrylic paint and make holes in the bottom. Making the flowers a new home is a great way to benefit from a broken 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 ceramic tile drills available, but they are thick and not suitable for mugs.
Holes in a ceramic or porcelain cup are made with an electric or hand drill, inserting a glass drill into it:
- A piece of paper is glued to the bottom of the cup.
- Periodically, the place of drilling is watered 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 at small modes, without pressing the tool. During operation, the container should be upside down.
Grown only in transparent containers. Old glass vases do 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 completely disappears into the liquid. Water will protect against dust, dirt and overheating, and reduce the likelihood of cracking of 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 glass, the less likely it is that the container will crack.
The easiest way is to drill metal dishes. Pots are made from steel and aluminum teapots, cans, pots, cups, mugs. Metal can be drilled even without a drill and drill, using a metal screw and a regular screwdriver.
Cement and rags - who would have thought?
It is not known who first thought of making a street flower vase out of old rags and concrete, but honor and praise to an unknown inventor. His technique makes it possible to make exquisite garden decorations from waste material.
To make DIY outdoor flower pots you will need:
- a cloth made of water-absorbent fabric,
- any container (for example, an old bucket),
- coloring pigment for concrete admixture,
- mixing container,
- strong polyethylene.
A paint spatula is needed to stir the solution. The electric drill with the appropriate attachment will greatly simplify the work.
Making a vase:
- sift sand from debris and large stones;
- put a rag in the container and make a mark at the level to which she got it;
- pour water into the container up to the mark;
- fill in sand and cement 1: 1;
- stir;
- wrap a bucket or other container that you have chosen for making 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;
- place a rag on a plastic-wrapped mold and turned upside down;
- straighten the fabric so that the bottom turns out to be even, and bend the edges with arbitrary folds or sharp creases;
- leave the product for 1-3 days;
- remove the rag from the container.
Do-it-yourself cement and fabric pots, video:
The technology of making a flowerpot from scrap materials will be more quickly understood by those who made flower pots from vinyl records, melting their edges over a fire, after which they sagged in beautiful folds. Now that records have become a rarity, inventive people have figured out how to make similar items 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 spread on a base made of any durable moisture-proof material.
Papier-mâché allows you to create complex shapes and specific relief. If a flat surface is needed, the dried product is sanded with an abrasive cloth and a leveling layer is applied.
The retro style vase is made of an old aluminum can, painted brown with spray paint. In the same way, you can decorate a bucket with flowers.
Both artificial and natural flowers can be placed in a metal vessel. 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 scissors, a hacksaw for metal, and a jigsaw.
DIY garden vases
The easiest way to cast garden vases is from concrete. The surface of the product is decorated with any natural materials, in this case, pebbles.
Such vessels are strong, take any shape in the hands of the master, have a solid weight, therefore they are not carried 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 until 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 drainage hole;
- wait for the solution to set;
- put a small container in a large one;
- fill the gap with concrete;
- leave for 24 hours;
- remove the inner container;
- sprinkle the concrete with water;
After a week, the finished flowerpot can be shaken out of the mold, covered with earth and plants can be planted in it.
Decorating pots
When it comes to planters, color is often more important than shape or even size. A beautiful drawing makes you pay attention to the design of flower pots.
Many people 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 prejudice to its 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 coat 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 pots is eggshells. It is very important to free it from the film, rinse and dry well before work. The shells are glued with the convex side outward on PVA glue.
The final stage is staining. You can paint both the shell itself and the walls of the pot.
Perhaps the most sophisticated decoration method is decoupage. This technique involves the use of paper and can be applied to all pots, including plastic and corrugated ones.
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 the paper.
- Stick the paper to the surface.
- Cover with varnish.
A master class on decoupage a flower pot on video:
You can decorate a flower pot with your own hands using lace. It adds sophistication to any piece, even a cheap plastic pot. It is not difficult 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 DIY flowers. 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 models of pots 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 flowerpot with your own hands, it remains only to choose the material that will look most appropriate in your or home
Advice! It is worth remembering that a pots, unlike a flower pot, do not have special holes in the bottom, from which water could pour out after watering. Do not forget to drain it from the planter so that the plant roots do not rot. Free space between the planter and flower pot or other container in which flowers grow, usually lined with moss or gravel so that the pot does not "dangle" inside.

Leather hanging pots are simple to manufacture, but look very original. Add some style to your home decor with this wonderful leather planter. He will definitely be able to become exactly the highlight that makes the interior unique.
Master class: leather hanging pots
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 (square measuring 30x30 cm)
- Packing tape, pencil and utility knife
- Computer and printer (for printing the template) and template
- Sponge for wetting and staining
Step by step scheme:
Step 1: preparation and placement
Print your factory hanger template onto tracing paper. Lay the template down on the wrong side of the leather and select the ideal placement (not too close to the sides and to avoid any imperfections in the leather).
Step 3: soften the skin
Dip a sponge in purified water and then apply moisture evenly to your skin. Repeat this step at least three times until the skin looks like it cannot accept more water. This will soften the skin and make it easier for us to weave the planters.
Step 4: transfer the template
Now place the template in the previously selected location and tape it on the sides so that it does not move to the sides. Use a simple pencil to guide the lines printed on the tracing paper, pressing the pencil with medium force. Be careful not to miss any line.
Step 5. Cutting
Now detach the template from the skin to see how the pattern is transferred to the surface of the skin. Using a utility knife, make cuts in place of the lines.
For convenience, you can first cut the circle along the outer contour. The cuts should be clear along the lines drawn.
Step 6. Coloring
Note: This step is optional, it is performed depending on the desired color and materials at hand. In our case, we dyed the skin dark brown.
After the skin is dry from moisture (at least one hour), apply the desired dye. Apply the paint with a sponge (wearing gloves) until the desired effect is achieved.
As the leather dries, pull back a little to give it a volume. You will begin to see how the skin deforms, carry on pulling and stretching it to create the shape of the planter for the pot as it should be when finished.
Step 8: hang up
- After, how the skin dries completely, and a planter shape is formed, punch four holes in the upper part to thread the ropes through them.
- You should place them evenly, at the same distance from each other, so that the suspended flower pot does not tilt 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 edit
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 them in a knot.
You can use this knot to hook onto the ceiling hook and / or ring. See if you are comfortable with the length of the pendant, if you need to tie the knot on a different level.
Hanging planter made of straws
This kind of planter will match the interior with innovative touches. Transform and complement your home decor with their neon cocktail straws and string coasters. Moreover, even 15 minutes will be enough for you!
Necessary materials:
- Neon threads
- neon straws (8 pieces per pot)
- flower pots for indoor flowers (we used white melamine)
- home 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 the knot
Take the strands you just cut together and tie a knot at one end, creating a tassel from a little excess cord at one end.
Step 3: Divide the threads into sections
Divide the rope into 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 the small part that is separated by the spring. Then cut it in half. Take eight of these small pieces and pull a thread into each of them.
- Move the straws towards the center(knot) and on every two threads (in sections) make a knot. This is how it will look:
- Spread the strands back in a cross shape, two strands per section. Only now, to form a section, take one thread from the previously adjacent sections.
- Cut the straws into pieces (in total you need 16), each of which should be in size as part of a straw, which is separated by a spring.
- In each of 8 pieces of straw thread through and make knots on threads from one section.
- Likewise, lay out 2 strands in a cross shape, one from adjacent sections.
Add the third and final set of straws to the threads and tie the adjacent threads (similar to the previous set).
Step 5: hang up
It remains only to hang the planter and insert a pot 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 flowerpot
The macrame technique has probably the most variations in making pots. They can be either very simple, which can be done in literally 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: Weaving macrame with your own hands
Macrame is back in vogue, as is handicraft in general. In this master class, you will learn how to make a do-it-yourself hanging planter 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 the wall, slot) to hold the 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
- Indoor 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. So you now have six ropes to work with, each 1.25 m long.
Step 2: making the knot
- Of all six ropes tying a knot right next to the ring. Make it as tight as possible, for this, after forming a knot, pull each rope separately.
- Hang the ring on the hook (if there is no hook, then with a separate small rope tie it to the cabinet handle or whatever, 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 on the same level, make sure they are tight.
- Take one rope at a time from two adjacent pairs and tie them together. about 12 cm below the previous node.
Repeat the previous step with the rest of the ropes so that all are 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, bring all six ropes together to make one large end 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 desired size.
- Wrap the colored threads around the rope in several places, creating blocks several centimeters long. This stage is decorative and optional. Now the macrame pendant is ready and you can place the pot in it.
Step 5: plant indoor flowers
Place drainage stones at the bottom of the glass pot to form 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. Drizzle with water and press down on the soil to compress it. Ornamental moss can be placed on top of the soil., optional.
- Place the glass bowl with the flower over the lowest node and straighten the ropes to the sides to fix it well.
- Spread the plant out if it gets tangled in the ropes. Hang up and admire the beauty of the plant and your own product.
Macrame schemes for pots

Step 1: making wooden squares
Think how many tiers there will be in your flower stand ( there are 4 of them, but you can do more or less ). Find the houseplants you want to place there.
Based on this all, cut out the required number of squares from the wooden plate.
- To do this, turn the pot upside down and place it on a plate, circle it and leave it on the sides. by about 5 cm thus the size of the square was determined.
- Using a saw make squares.
Step 2: make holes for the pots
- You already have a circle drawn on a tree from the top of the pot, now in the middle of it you need to draw another one 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, which you will place in the stand, grows towards 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 that fits the stencil and trace around it.
- Use a jigsaw to cut this new circle. 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 you can hang them. To do this, use drill up to 1 cm in diameter.
Step 4: paint the tree
Using sandpaper, remove any roughness and unevenness that have formed after sawing and drilling. Now the tree can be painted or simply treated with an antiseptic. In this case, a dark brown paint was used.
Step 5: paint the pots
The pots can also be painted if desired. Sloppy strokes of white paint work well on plain clay pots. You can skip this step. 
Step 6: putting it all together
In order to fasten the wooden squares together, we need a thick rope: cut 4 ropes, 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 rope on each rope. knot 25-30 cm above the previous one and thread the ropes through the holes of the next square. Check that everything is level, and the second tier is clearly horizontal above the first, correct the nodes if necessary. The second tier is ready. Repeat these steps for the remaining tiers. 
Step 7: plant the plants
A practical advantage of such a hanging stand is that water that can flow down after watering from the upper plant will drip to the lower one. So a pot holder is needed only on the lowest tier (if you use it outdoors, then you can do it without any supports at all).
You can also put coffee filters or similar water-absorbing materials on the bottom of the pots, so water can flow out, but no earth will fall out through the hole.
TIP: To prevent the bottom pot from falling out of the stand if someone accidentally hooks on the rope, glue it to the pot with super glue.
Step 8: Transplant the plants into prepared pots.
If the support of the lower pot is glued before inserting it into the wooden square, then it will turn out as in the photo below. If you want the lower 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 lower one. 
Step 9: hang up
- To hang this structure, pull the ropes through the metal ring and tie a knot, or bend them and tie them around with another thin rope.
- Adjust the rope so that all lines are horizontal and level.
This kind of stand is good, just remember that the flowers need enough light.
Hanging stand is a wonderful solution for those who love flowers, but do not have enough space to place them.
Copper tube planter
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 they will not be cut so quickly, but in general there is no difficulty, and it turns out beautifully and efficiently. 
TIP: If desired, the copper tubes can be replaced with plastic cocktail tubes.
Necessary materials:
- 2 m copper tube with a diameter of approximately 3 mm
- Mini pipe cutter
- Strong thread or line
- Leather cord (length depends on how high you are going 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 parts: 20 pieces 4 cm long and 5 pieces 24 cm long. Cut long pieces first, and then small pieces, 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 line, and pass the other through 5 small pieces of tube so that you get a pentagon (that is, the line must be passed through the first piece of tube twice).
Step 3: continue making pentagons from small tubes
- Thread the line through another 4 tubes of the same size, and then through the tube of the previously formed pentagon. The line is now in the tube connecting the pentagons, and you need to lead 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, in the same way, do 2 more pentagons, in total there should be 4 pieces, and they should be located as in the photo below.
- Now lead the line through the tubes to the bottom of the outermost pentagon and slide the tube over it. Then pass the line through one edge of the other extreme pentagon.
Here's what you should get:
Pass the line through 2 more tubes, and then through the edge of the pentagon, as in the photo below. You should get something that looks like a flower, or rather like this:
Step 4: string long tubes
- Draw the line to one of the highest points of the structure (between the top two tubes of one of the pentagons). Now the line needs to be passed through a long tube.
- Pass the line through another long tube, and then direct it to the next top point of the pentagon structure (any, not necessarily adjacent).
- Pass the wire through 2 small tubes to reach the next top point. Now thread 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 all you have to do is attach the last tube, but first place the pot in the middle of the structure, otherwise it will not crawl through the honey pipes later.
- Now attach the last tube. Here's what you should get:
Step 5: attach the leather lace
Cut off about 30 cm of leather cord and attach it to the junction point of the long tubes. You can tie a knot, but here, for aesthetics, they used hot glue, fastening the neatly bent end of the cord with it. This is how it looks:
So that the place of gluing is not visible, cut another small piece of the cord, fix it with hot glue, and wrap it around the cord for which we will hang it.
Cut off excess line and cord. One last action: plant your favorite indoor plants!
Where to hang the pots
Moreover, in the summer, plants can be placed both inside and outside the house, but since it is cold now, we will focus on domestic ones. You can plant greenery in any room of an 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 just your design decision.
Of course, you can just put the flower pot on the windowsill or bedside table and it will look good already. But if you try a little more, then you can decorate the appearance of the pots, and more optimally use the space of the apartment, at the same time arranging the plants and not taking up unnecessary space (with hanging pots).
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 really please 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 a planter of plants in your bedroom.
On the kitchen
This is ideal, you will never hook or overturn a flowerpot. The cache-pot looks very home-like in the kitchen!
On the balcony or in the chill-out area
If the area of the apartment allows, then with the help of hanging flower pots, you can plant a whole room with greenery and make a mini-garden. But if there is not enough space, you can arrange a comfortable seating area on the balcony.
Planter ideas from scrap materials
If you show your imagination, then a hanging planter can be made absolutely from any materials at hand. From old cans, bottles to unwanted towels and T-shirts.
From beads
If you have old beads lying around, and you do not know what to do with them, then here is one of the solutions to 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 likely to be found in many homes. They often lie idle, and 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 looks no worse than the others. We collect empty plastic and glass bottles and make original flower pots.
Of moss and shells
Many houses have shells brought from the seas, and if you drill a small hole and plant small saculents there, you will learn a mini-planter. The main thing is the quantity, 3-8 pieces will create an excellent hanging garden.
Flower decoration of both interiors and landscapes is in demand among many people. They are successfully used by designers to implement their projects. For a more harmonious fit, they use do-it-yourself flower pots, 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 permissible weight per support, the amount of water consumed by the plant and the temperature regime. Materials are as follows:
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 of 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 fiber. The roots of the plant with a lump of soil are wrapped with a piece of polyethylene, then fiber is wrapped over it. Everything is fixed at the base of the plant and the suspensions are placed in the chosen place. For the base frame, you can take a basket made of wire, metal rods or vines. To make it yourself, you can use the following materials:
- Rigid wire.
- Pieces of reinforced-plastic pipes.
- Waste plastic arches from the greenhouse.
- Willow or newspaper vines.
- Wooden planks.
- Or what the fantasy tells.
