Our first project from our Bring the Plants Inside Project has to be one of our very favorites. Start it out with a bang, am I right? We loved these rope coil pots from Anthropologie but knew we could not afford it. Our main goal of this project is to create ways to bring our plants inside on a tight budget-which means that $70 pots are just out of the question. So here we go-how to make your very own Anthropologie inspired hemp and yarn coil pot for less than 10 dollars.
You'll Need: hemp, yarn, an old pillowcase or sheet, a hot glue gun, a plastic pot, and a plant to put in it.
When I first pictured myself making this DIY I figured it would be pretty difficult, which ended up not being the case! Once you get started it is actually pretty easy but a little bit time consuming. I started by cutting an old pillowcase in a spiral so that I had one long strip of fabric. The wider that you cut your strips the thicker your coils will be. For my yellow pot my strip was about 5 inches wide and 4 feet long.
Once you have your strip of fabric you will want to cut several pieces of hemp and yarn all the same length. I then began by twisting my fabric and wrapping a piece of hemp around it, adding a dot of glue about every inch or so. I then did a strip of yarn and alternated back and forth between the two until my entire strip of fabric was covered.
I then took my plastic pot and put a layer of glue on the side of it and a layer on top of each coil as I spiraled up. This will ensure that everything stays in place!
I really enjoyed the way these came out! I am thinking about making another one here shortly. Perhaps with some blues?
What color would you use?
-a clover and a bee
