Also 5 step-by-step master classes with diagrams and photos of how to weave a pots quickly and easily with your own hands and create really beautiful decor interior.

Leather hanging pots are simple to manufacture, but look very original. Add some style to your home interior along 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 diagram:

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 perfect place placement (not too close to the sides, and to avoid any imperfections in the skin).

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 that, 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

1. 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.
2. Move the straws towards the center(knot) and on every two threads (in sections) make a knot. This is how it will look:
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. In each of 8 pieces of straw thread through and make knots on threads from one section.
6. 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: Do-it-yourself macrame weaving

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

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. See what the length you need to leave and cut the ropes to the desired size.
3. 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.

1. Remove the plant from the temporary pot and place in glass vessel... Drizzle with water and press down on the soil to compress it. Ornamental moss can be placed on top of the soil., optional.
2. Place the glass bowl with the flower over the lowest node and straighten the ropes to the sides to fix it well.
3. 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

Here are a few more patterns for those who want to master weaving macrame. They are very simple - even for beginners. We 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.

Flowerpot made of wood

The tree also gives a fairly wide range of actions, various shapes and colors. Choose what you like best and get creative.

Master class: hanging wooden pots

This hanging planter will wonderfully complement your home interior. It is done quickly and easily, it will not take a lot of money for materials either. Optimal solution for an apartment.

Necessary materials:

• Wood plate and saw
• Houseplants and flowerpots
• Rope and metal ring
• Drill and sandpaper
• Paint and brush

Step-by-step manufacturing scheme:

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 wood plate the right amount squares.

1. 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.
2. Using a saw make squares.

Step 2: make holes for the pots

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 Bottom part constructions.

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

1. 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.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. Pass the line through another long tube, and then direct it to the next top point of the pentagon structure (any, not necessarily adjacent).

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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. AND 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 appearance pots, and more optimally use the space of the apartment, at the same time placing the plants and not occupying them extra space(at 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 really please indoor flowers.

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 modern style apartments.

From bottles

Probably the cheapest of all methods, but looks no worse than the others. We collect empty plastic and glass bottles and we 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.

Houseplants occupy the entire window sill and block each other? Or only grass for cats takes root at home, because animals do not treat the rest of the flowers very humanely? We propose a solution to this problem: hang plants from the ceiling or walls. Our selection of master classes will help you make a suspension or a shelf that will look very modern and stylish!

Floating shelf

What you need:

• wooden plate;
• scissors;
• yarn.

How to do:
Cut 50 strips of yarn about 3 meters each (slightly more is better than less). Bring them together and tie a knot exactly in the middle - this will be the center of the suspension. Divide the ends of the strands into 4 equal parts. Then divide each of the parts into two more and twist these parts together; can be divided into three and braided.
You just have to throw the 4 resulting plaits (or pigtails) over the object on which you hang the composition, and tie a knot. Place the plate in the middle: it will hold firmly, and you can put small flowers on it. For decorativeness to bottom node you can tie a tassel of yarn.

Macrame


What you need:

• yarn, ropes, or even an old T-shirt cut into strips (unless, of course, you decide to weave a rug out of it);
• scissors.

How to do:
The macrame technique is great for creating graceful suspensions for plants in planters. You will be helped to master this simple technology step-by-step master classes in the pictures below.

Multilevel shelves with holes

What you need:

• wooden plank;
• several pots in the form of a cylinder or with an extension on top;
  rope;
• metal ring;
• drill and drill 10mm;
• saw;
• sandpaper and paint and / or stain (optional).

How to do:
Turn the planter over and place it on the board, circle, then measure 2.5-3 cm to the sides and draw squares around the circles. It is on them that you need to cut the board with a saw, so it is more convenient to start closer to the edge / corner. Already on the sawn-off planks, draw a smaller circle inside the circles already existing there. It will be optimal to retreat 6-7mm from the edge or play it safe and measure the diameter of the planter in the part that should be above the shelf.
Use the drill to punch holes inside the small circle until the hole is large enough to fit the saw. Use a saw to cut out the entire circle. Then drill a hole in each corner for the rope. Thread the ropes, tying a knot under each shelf, and at the top tie everything to a metal ring. The gimbal is ready! You can additionally decorate it before threading the ropes: sand the boards and saturate them with stain, paint the planter.
Important: if your pots have a hole at the bottom, it is better to make the lower shelf without a hole, putting the pots there on a saucer (glue the saucer for reliability): the fact is that the water from the upper pots will flow down.

The charm of the most beautiful and well-groomed plants will not be complete if they are planted in different-colored pots, differing in shape, size, material from which they are made. Perfect solution problems - flower pots. Purchased in the store or made by hand, they will complete the look of the collection on and will help to decorate the suburban area.

The choice of ready-made planters for indoor and garden plants

The assortment of ready-made pots in stores is incredibly large. In order not to get confused when choosing, experts advise paying attention to several aspects. Among them:

• the price of the sample you like;
• destination pots;
• the size of the pot to be decorated;
• compliance with the style of the interior or landscape design;
• practicality of the product.

Most often, flower growers prefer pots for flowers from polymer materials, fired ceramics or clay, glass.

Planter for flowers made of plastic

The most affordable samples are made from plastic. They are easy to clean and can be used indoors and outdoors. Due to the presence of drainage holes and the ability to easily make new ones, the plants in the pots are protected from root decay. One more useful quality- lightness, which is important if the florist needs a hanging planter for ampel plants or their spectacular garland flower pots... Despite the thin walls, the container in the sun does not heat up to critical temperatures, does not cause overheating of the soil and root system.

If desired, plastic planters can be easily decorated with fragments of wood, textiles, beads, or simply painted using safe and bright acrylic paints.

Store-bought plastic planters are easy to transform with a roll of rope and glue. Processed by him lateral surface tightly wrapped with a twine or cord.

However, with a lot of advantages, plastic planters there are a couple of downsides. They are not too sturdy when used outside the home, and the products cannot be called original in any way.

Ceramic pots

Ceramics different types has long been used for the manufacture of flower pots and pots. Clay is incredibly malleable. She can take all kinds of forms natural material keeps the warmth of the hands of the master, transferring it to the interior or summer cottage.

When choosing a ceramic planter, you should pay attention to the presence of a drainage hole, as well as to the outer coating.

Unglazed clay retains porosity, which improves the microclimate inside the pot, but reduces the longevity of the flower planter. When watering tap water sloppy stains may appear on the walls. Outside the house, containers are threatened with destruction:

• high air humidity;
• a sharp change in temperature, especially freezing and thawing.

Ceramic painted or coated with glaze looks very impressive and much stronger, but it heats up slowly and does not remove excess moisture well.

Due to the large weight for ceramic products, especially when making do-it-yourself hanging flower pots, you need a reliable mount. It's easy to make with sturdy twine and macrame tricks.

Glass planter for flowers

Transparent or colored glass is a fragile but effective material that will help to decorate the interior and make the house unique.

At the same time, having shown imagination, making such a planter with your own hands for indoor flowers is not difficult at all.

As a basis, you can take glass jars suitable size, wine glasses, vases or even a small rounded aquarium. By connecting the vessels with a rope, fixing them on a wooden stand, you can build a garland for flowers, make a planter for several pots at once.

How and from what to make a flower pots with your own hands

The decoration of the windowsill and the garden will be pots that were not found in the store, but made by a florist himself. Such samples are usually:

• many times cheaper than analogs from the store;
• created taking into account the tastes and preferences of the master;
• are unique.

But, relying on his imagination, the florist needs to remember about the reliability of the future pots, safety and practicality. It is especially important to consider the variability of the weather and the influence external factors, if you have to assemble pots for the garden with your own hands.

Most popular materials suitable for such a job:

• wood, including planks, bamboo, dry twigs collected from the garden;
• cement mixtures that, after hardening, turn into durable, moisture-resistant structures;
• durable types of twine and rope from which wicker pots are made;
• textiles treated with wear-resistant paint.

Per original pots or the materials for its manufacture do not have to be sent to the store.

One has only to look around to notice things that are out of use, but that can turn into a unique interior or landscape object.

DIY hanging flower pots

Handmade pots for the home are a great occasion to show your imagination and demonstrate your ability to create practical and completely unique things.

The simplest option is a hanging planter using the macrame technique. Woven to fit the size of the pot, it is:

• fits perfectly into the interior;
• decorates any container in which an indoor flower grows;
• can be used for ordinary and ampelous plants;
• in combination with others, it forms a multi-tiered garland that saves space on the windowsill and gives the window a unique look.

In addition, the planter allows you to significantly improve the lighting of plants and simplifies maintenance when a large number flowers in the house.

When choosing a rope for weaving, it is better to give preference to samples made of wear-resistant fiber that does not stretch under load, does not fade in the sun and is not afraid of moisture. The same requirements apply to wicker pots for the street.

Floor and table planters for flowers

Large plants such as indoor lemon, monstera, ficus or lush fern is a great home decoration. To make them look even more spectacular, the pot can be put in the original planter.

It is not always possible to choose an option of a suitable design and size, and everyone can make a high floor planter for flowers on their own.

One of the options is a cement planter. As a basis, a rapidly solidifying mixture is taken, which is poured into a prepared form and after a while a strong casting-pots are obtained. Another way to use the material is to drink it on a textile rag and give it suitable view, wait for the composition to dry. This pots can be used in the home and in the garden. For a greater decorative effect, the casting is painted and even covered with mosaics.

An excellent planter for big flower a box of a suitable shape will serve. It is preliminarily sanded, treated with moisture-proof varnish or painted. To protect the floor and other surfaces, such as a table under a wooden flower pot, a tray is placed on the bottom to collect excess moisture. The free space between the pot and the planter can be filled with coconut fiber.

To simplify the care of a large green pet, to protect the plant from moisture deficiency and drying out, pots with a built-in irrigation system will help. You can buy it or make it yourself from auxiliary materials.

In addition to the container for the pot, there is a cavity for water and a pipe for filling it, as well as a system of holes that supply moisture to the roots and remove excess moisture. A similar design for flowers of all sizes can be assembled at home. It will be useful both on the windowsill and in the garden, especially when the plants are deprived of the daily attention of the grower.

The simplest pots with automatic watering can be made from a regular plastic pot. The main thing is that it is of a suitable size, and its bottom has many large drainage holes. A shipping container in which flowers arrive at the store is perfect. Under drainage, lay on the bottom mosquito net made of plastic. It will not let the soil wash out. Several nylon cords are threaded through the holes so that the ends hang freely.

By placing such pots with homemade or garden flowers on gravel in a pan filled with water, you can be sure that the plant will not suffer from drying out. The liquid will rise to the ground along the rope, but will not cause root rot.

Planting flowers, care rules

The choice of the method of planting flower crops is determined by the shape and design of the pots. If the container has a shape identical to the pot, then a layer of gravel is laid, a soil mixture suitable for the selected variety is poured and seedlings are planted or sowed. Openwork varieties must be filled with fibrous material or moss. A moisture-proof film is laid on top and soil is poured.

At limited area growing flowers in pots, it is necessary to practice correct agrotechnical planting techniques and ensure timely care... The soil substrate must have a loose structure. If the site is dominated by heavy loamy soil, it is mixed with compost and sand in approximately equal proportions.

Basically, the planter performs decorative function and is used as a tray in which pots with plants are placed. Such flowers need to be watered every other day, as moisture evaporates from the soil slowly. Half an hour after watering, the pallet is checked. If a lot of water has seeped into it from the pot, it should be poured out. But often the soil is poured directly into the pots.
