Elvira Goleva for the site

I propose in this topic to create an encyclopedia on various techniques for decorating flower pots and planters

The first option is to cover with a beautiful fabric.

It turns out really original and attractive!

And I really like decorating with colored laces. Very easy, and at the same time an interesting way.

What you need: pots, colorful laces, glue.

How we do.

We take the base - pots. we cover the part where the lace will be applied with a thin layer of glue (the glue should not dry out instantly). And we begin to tightly wrap the pots with a cord. It is important that the lace lays flat, row by row and there are no gaps. After a few rows are done, change the color and repeat the steps. So you get a multi-colored pots. If there is a wire, then you can insert it into one of the laces and make a beautiful pattern on top.

Again, a decoration option using winding. This time, it is specified that this is some kind of plant material ... alas, I don’t remember the name ...

At the end of the winding, glue the shells

A flower pot can also be made from ordinary hemp. You will need a drill with a sufficiently thick drill bit and other carpentry tools

A couple of options based on wrapping a beautiful fabric with a flap

Original and stylish pot with buttons laid out in the form of a belt

Autumn pot with maple leaves

My favorite ethno style

If you paste over the shell, you get an excellent mosaic on a flower pot, for example, like this. Look, the shell is not painted, how charming it looks !!!

Here is another interesting idea using seashells. It is stated that they were planted on building mastic. I don’t know how it will hold, but in my opinion you can take cement for tiles.

Finally found a photo of a planter with seeds)

The same flower pot can look different if you decorate it with different accessories. Using the example, we see that I have beads, you can give tone to an ordinary clay pot and adjust it to the general interior of the room

A sad plastic flower pot can be turned into a stunning planter with twine, an old T-shirt and spray paint. We look at the photo lesson and learn how to decorate pots with our own hands

And here is the recipe for decorating pots. More precisely, not a planter, but buckets of acrylic paint))

I also liked this idea, they made it from an ordinary wooden planter - an excellent interior decoration in the ancient Greek style)

It is better to use water-based paint, even if you get your hands dirty, it washes well.

A simple flower pot can be a message from the past when adorned with vintage lace. In the image of a cache-pot with lace, you can also arrange a frame for a photo. Be sure to take care of soft paint colors if your lace is pastel shades, but if the lace is a rich color, such as black or red, then you can choose a contrasting paint

But I found a variant of a more ascetic planter for flowers with my own hands - a planter made of cardboard. Although, if you paint it white in fact, it will turn out quite airy, right?

Well, as always, I just love knitted covers for all kinds of jars, mugs, and now for flower pots!

An excellent option for a hanging planter can be made by hand. Usually take a planter and weave a basket for him, but not in, but with the help of!
Below is a detailed weaving pattern)

Ordinary glass jars painted in different colors can be used both as a flower pot and as a planter, which is much more practical than the first option - it is still very difficult to pick out the ground from the jar ..

You can also use old things as a planter, for example, a boot or a teapot. But only as a planter, it’s better not to pour the earth into these items, otherwise you won’t wash off the dirt later and won’t be able to reuse)

He even makes cutouts in old books

Do you have a few old floppy disks lying around the house? You don't have to throw them away! Make a flower pot out of floppy disks with your own hands, it's so easy!
To glue floppy disks, take high-quality tile adhesive.

But with this decor, you can create the effect as if your plants are growing on the windowsill completely without a pot! It seems that the roots of plants are outside)

And here is the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bdecorating a flower pot with knitted elements already known to many! In this case, it is a kind of crocheted belt)

Here is an option for decorating a flower pot with a beautiful dense fabric. You can even sew strips of fabric into one piece and wrap the pot. You can not make a central seam, just put the fabric on the glue.

Poor books .. even if this is some kind of textbook from the time of studying Marxism-Leninism, I would still be sorry to mock them like that) Although it turns out beautifully, I can’t say anything in the omem style)

Even from the expanses of the network, I liked the solution when flowers and grass in general act as paintings on the wall.

Or here's an easier one. Only in this version, I don’t know how convenient it is for the plants themselves in this position. The stems will still strive upward. to the sun.

In our house, they do not always fit the interior of the room, and are often simply nondescript. Spring is coming and we want to transform our house, put things in order in all corners and come up with something new for comfort in our apartment. Why not start with flower pots, because they are always in sight - standing on the windowsills or somewhere near the window. At the same time, we will transplant plants that are tired during the long winter months into fresh soil and updated pots. First you need to decide what we want to change in the appearance of our flower pots. Maybe we are tired of their dull brown or gray color? Then everything is simple: take acrylic paints, a brush and change the color. Do not forget that before you start painting the pot, it must be well washed, dried and degreased (to do this, wipe the pot with nail polish remover or alcohol with a cotton swab).

It is necessary to pay attention to what material the flower pot is made of. If it is plastic, then before painting the pot, prime the entire surface of the pot with PVA glue, let it dry, and then paint it in the desired color with acrylic paint. In addition to acrylic paints, spray paints can also be used.

When the paint dries, if you don’t get an even and beautiful layer, paint the pot again and let the paint dry well again. To fix the result, cover the pot with acrylic varnish. Only when the varnish becomes dry, proceed to planting a flower in a pot.

As you can see in the photo above, the pots are not just painted with paint of one tone, but they draw drawings that anyone who can at least hold a brush in their hands can easily draw. The advantage of coloring flower pots with your own hands is that you can come up with any pattern or pattern and try to bring it to life.

It's pretty easy to decorate earthenware pots, especially those that aren't glazed. The surface of the pot is porous, so such a pot must also be primed with PVA glue before painting. When the glue is dry, carefully paint the pot in two coats. When the paint dries, start painting.

If you wish, you can decorate several flower pots in one theme and transform any room in the house with their help. Here are the pots that the boys might like.

And girls may like pots with flowers, butterflies (dragonflies) or birds.

If your child already knows how to draw something, try coloring flower pots together. Surely you will have a good and interesting time.

Children will surely be delighted with pots with eyes and spouts. They can serve as containers for small toys.

For the kitchen, paint the pot with flowers, berries, teapots or polka dots.

For the bedroom and living room, dream up and draw something that fits the interior of the room.

When inspiration comes, drawings are quickly thought up and immediately brought to life.

Sometimes even the drawings on the pot seem not enough to us, but we want to add something else so that the flower pot or pot turns into something extraordinary. Then you need to look at home, what can be glued to the pot so that it stands out from a number of its fellows. It can be anything: beads, sequins, buttons, plastic and felt flowers and other small decorations. You need to glue on super glue or glue from a gun.

In a similar way, you can transform your flower pot by completely pasting it with shells. Such a pot will well support the marine theme in the room.

Flowerpots and pots decorated with shells can decorate not only a room, but also a balcony, terrace or porch in a garden house.

If the pot turned out well, you should not plant a plant in it that will cover the results of your work with its leaves. Plant in it, for example, cacti that grow slowly and do not hang down.

A ceramic or plastic pot can be pasted over with pebbles. To attach the stones, you can use super glue or glue from a special gun.

Simple plastic pots, after being decorated with pebbles, are transformed beyond recognition.

Have you ever tried to use textured plaster to decorate pots? And you try. Get interesting results. Apply textured (embossed) plaster to the pot and use a comb or notched trowel to apply any pattern you can think of onto the wet plaster. It is important not to smear the applied pattern, but to gently dry the pot. In the future, the plaster does not crumble and does not peel off.

Another noteworthy way to decorate flower pots is by gluing pieces of tree branches. Take thin branches of a tree (preferably not resinous species), garden nippers and prepare wooden "rounds". Start gluing them to the pot with hot glue from the bottom and continue until the entire area is filled. Alternate between small and large pieces of wood. When the glue dries, cover the pot with acrylic varnish.

And if you don’t want to cut the branches with wire cutters, just put two rubber bands on the pot and gently push the equally cut branches under them around the entire pot. Then tie the branches together with twine.

Such pots can be decorated with thin branches painted with silver or gold paint and natural or artificial berries.

Many ways to decorate pots have already been invented. Perhaps you can come up with something of your own. Here I also bring to your attention how you can decorate pots with lace. Cut out fragments of lace and glue to the pot, which is primed with PVA glue. Next, the pot with lace needs to be painted.

To decorate the pot with twine, you will need a twine reel, PVA glue and a brush. Take a pot and coat the strip with PVA glue. Carefully start winding the twine around the pot. Further, also to the very top of the pot: coat the strip with glue and wind the twine. Then let the pot dry. Twine can even be painted any color with acrylic paint.

If you suddenly want flower pots to repeat the colors of curtains or curtains, then you need to take the fabric from which the curtains are sewn and make a pattern for the pot. To do this, on a clean piece of paper, “roll” the pot from one to the other edge of the sheet and draw two rounded lines: along the upper and lower edges of the pot. Measure the circumference of the pot from above and below, these dimensions should correspond to the lines you have drawn. Cut out the pattern and lay it on the fabric, securing with needles. By the way, do not forget to leave an extra 1 centimeter on the top and bottom of the pattern in order to be able to tuck the fabric. Glue the cut fabric with PVA glue to the pot, decorate as you wish.

From unnecessary knitwear, sew these “suits” for your pots. Look spring fresh and beautiful.

You might like the pot just wrapped in burlap.

Pots in matting bags look great, somehow it immediately becomes homely.

Everything that you read above makes sense to do with flower pots if they are still whole, without cracks, and ceramic ones do not crumble and do not crumble. And if there is no point in transforming old pots, then take them to the dacha and make such a funny “pot” company out of them.

Good luck to all!
