Sooner or later, almost every housewife is faced with the question - how to hang a flower pot on a rope? This original design solution allows you to bring comfort and beauty to your home environment. You can make a flowerpot with your own hands from rope or use a more complex design. The flower stand made of wood and twine looks unusual. It will fit perfectly into any interior, while being strong and durable. Before hanging a flower pot on a rope, it is important to strengthen the plant well. The pot should be held firmly in the pot. To do this, use special glue or reliable weaving.
How to make a flowerpot out of rope
Before you make a flowerpot from a rope, you need to prepare the necessary material. You will need:
- Flower pots in the right quantity. A DIY rope flower pot can be designed for one pot or be a composition of several plants;
- Scissors, ring for keychain;
- Rope - fifty centimeters;
- The twine is ten meters.
Let's take a step-by-step look at how to make flower pots from rope:
- Fold the ten-meter twine in half. Fold the rope in half again. We do the same for the third time. It is important that all segments are as even as possible. One end consists entirely of threads bent in half;
- On the other side, cut the twine folded in half. We will get all the ropes cut at one end, and all bent at the other end. We start work with the kinks.
- We start making rope flowerpots by forming a loop at the folds. This will be the central part of the product. We will thread the ring from the keychain into the center of the loop. This method of hanging a flower pot is considered optimal.
- For the bottom loop, take a short rope and make a winding under the ring. We will pass the lower end of this twine through the loop and tighten it well, pulling out the upper part of the rope. The ends should be trimmed evenly.
- Now the rope flower pot can be hooked onto the wall, kitchen cabinet or sideboard. A wooden board will do. The product should be directly in front of the eyes.
- We measure the height of the product and tie knots on two twines as a mark. We do the same with the remaining two ropes.
- We count the height of the pots from the starting nodes. The weaving pattern is selected. The sequence of arrangement of parts is important. We tie one twine with a knot from one level and the second from the second. We also proceed by taking the second and third line of ropes.
- We tie the fourth and third twines with knots. Weaving the flowerpots continues according to this pattern until the desired height is reached. All nodes are located on the same line.
- We make 4 more knots, stepping back down a similar distance. We work according to the same scheme.
- Before hanging the flowerpot, place a flower in the center to try out the dimensions. We combine all the lower twines in one knot, adjusting the position of the pot.
- Twine flowerpots can be decorated with wooden beads or other accessories. We will trim the long ends of the ropes at the bottom to make the product look neat. All that remains is to fix the decoration on the wall.
How to weave flower pots from wood - do-it-yourself wicker flower pots
Before hanging the pot on the wall, you need to create a secure mount. An original wooden flowerpot will not only be an excellent place to place plants, but also a unique piece of furniture. Weaving flower pots with your own hands requires the following tools and materials:
- Brush and paints;
- A piece of sandpaper;
- Wood drills;
- Metal ring from a keychain;
- Twine or simple rope;
- Pots with indoor flowers;
- Saw;
- Wooden plate.
Step-by-step guide on how to make a wicker planter:
- We calculate the number of levels of the stand. On average, 4-5 pieces will be optimal.
- We select the flowers that will be in the flower pots.
- We cut out a certain number of wooden squares from wood - one plant per square.
- We turn the flowerpot over, place it on the wood, outline it, retreating five centimeters on each side from the outline of the pot. We cut out square blanks from wood.
- A circle is drawn on the square, outlined along the contour of the pot. It is necessary to draw another circle of smaller diameter in the center. The middles of the figures coincide. The difference in diameter is two centimeters.
- We cut out the second circle using a jigsaw. You can start with drills and continue with a jigsaw to make the process easier. We will place the flowerpots in the holes for fitting.
- We are working on the fastening design. The squares will be secured with rope. It is necessary to make a hole in each corner for the twine. The diameter of the drill is no more than a centimeter.
- We can paint the product in any color. Pre-treat each square with sandpaper. It will help rid the parts of irregularities and protrusions. You can make bright coasters or use classic wood shades.
- Flowerpots can also be decorated at your discretion. For example, use silver or gold-plated paint, simply paint pots or stick on appliqués.
- Let's collect all the elements of the composition. Cut four pieces of twine 180 centimeters each. We thread the rope into the corner holes of the square, pull it through and secure it with a knot. We do this with four twines. The lower tier is ready.
- We re-tie the knots at a distance of thirty centimeters from the previously made knots. We put the next square on the twine and rest it on the knots. By analogy, we act with respect to all tiers.
- All that remains is to plant the flowers in the squares. The advantage of this design is that the moisture that overflows from the upper plant will be absorbed by the lower flowers. Therefore, we will install the stand at the very bottom.
- To prevent the flowerpot from falling in the event of an accidental shock, it is advisable to glue it. An exclusive pot for indoor flowers is ready!
