We make a flower pot with our own hands from metal utensils
Used buckets, watering cans, pots and teapots can be a great starting material for creating flower pots. The main condition for these containers is the presence in their bottom of holes for the release of excess moisture. Therefore, you should immediately drill or pierce several holes from the bottom in a bucket or pan using a large nail. Then comes the turn of design work. You can use ordinary paints, painting the future pot to your liking. And you can use old CDs, breaking them into pieces about 3 centimeters in size. By pasting them on top of the vessel, you can create an amazing pot design. You can use other options for decoupage , such as those that adorn bottles, caskets, and other interior items.
Record Pot
From old records for the player, you can also get an original flower pot. Do it yourself is quite simple. By the way, the hole in this planter will no longer need to be made. Since you can make a flower pot from a plate by heating the plastic, the master will need a metal lid for preserving vegetables in jars, a nail and a hook with a long handle. A hole should be made in the cover in advance, into which the hook can enter. The cover is applied to the plate so that the holes match. From the side of the lid near the hole, a nail is applied along the plane, a hook is inserted into the hole with which the nail is picked up. Now the plate is held by this device in a position parallel to the ground level. It is necessary to heat the plate over an electric stove or gas. It will begin to lose its shape, its edges hang with beautiful folds down, just as dense hard matter sags. After the desired result is achieved, the heating of the plate is stopped. Now it remains only to cover the flower pot, made by yourself with a phonograph record, with paints. You can also create irregularities with plaster, putty, clay or clay.
Large flower pots
Large plants require large containers. Buying a large pot in the store does not always work: either there is no one suitable for sale, it is inconvenient to transport. Therefore, the best option is to create such a pot yourself. There are several options for making large pots:
1. Use as a pot of old rustic large cast irons, in which our ancestors cooked food in the stove. They can be painted very beautifully, turning into unique flower pots.
2. You can use a composite container of several small ones as a large pot. This is done like this: in two identical flowerpots, the bottoms are cut out, connected with the places where the cutouts were made, a large flat plate is glued (or set) down - here comes a large tall pot, extremely convenient for a palm, lemon or other large plant.
