A very Happy New Year to all of you!!! Hope everyone had an amazing one.
In this post I will be sharing a recent DIY potted plant I made using a Pringles chips box. It was an extremely low-cost, quick and fun project.
Materials Required:
- Pringles box (I bought one from Dollar Tree)
- Any colored yarn or jute
- A lace or ribbon
- Glue gun
- Faux plant assortments
Procedure:
- Start by covering the cleaned box with yarn in any pattern you like using glue gun. I went with two bands of brick red colored yarn with white jute in between. Glue every few inches to make sure that the jute/yarn stays in place, keeping as less space between the layers as possible. Just a quick note: Glue cools off fast, so don't put a lot of it at once. otherwise by the time you try to stick the jute/yarn to it, it won't catch on (I learned that the hard way).
- Once the box is covered, use any lace or ribbon to cover the top and bottom rims of the box.
- Easiest of all steps, arrange the faux plant assortments in the box. I got these small branches and a few stems for less than a dollar each from Hobby Lobby in a sale. Without a sale/coupon, each stem might cost a maximum of $2 and you will not require more than 5-6 for a box with a similar radius. Usually the stems will hold in place because of the weight and also they get stuck with each other. However I taped the first two stems to the inside of the box using an adhesive tape just to give it strength. The rest just stayed once I started arranging.
Please let me know how did you like making this potted plant or if you have any suggestions!
