The flower pot is expensive and ugly? I'll teach you three moves
Last weekend, the flower market, an ordinary pottery price of 68, was the kind of khaki that is common in wholesale markets, with the edges of a machine-moderated prick. I turned around and went to the junkyard next to it, and i spent five bucks on a broken china pot, went home to clean up, drilled a hole, planted plenty of meat, and the circle of friends asked where to buy the ins. Seriously, i've had enough of this. I'll tell you how to make a unique flower pot with the least money。
You know, with all this crap at home, you know, it's a lot of flowers. Basin
You'll never guess. The longest flower pot i've ever had, actually, is grandma's china cup. A small hole in the bottom, growing copper grass, a retrospectal velvet and green, is particularly delicious。
You don't have to go to the mall to look through the kitchen and drawers. Old teapots, painted cups and even cracked pottery bowls are excellent containers as long as the bottom is pierced (with electric drills made of glass, one for a dozen). My neighbour made a basket of abandoned bamboo, with a plastic bag and a few holes in it, with a hanger, air and nature, ten times better than a plastic tub。
The key is that the items themselves bear the mark of years and are not identical to the plastic basin produced in bulk. Every time a friend comes to my house and sees these flower pots, he asks if i picked them up from an antique store. In fact, it's not easy to spend money, buy a flower pot that's expensive and ugly。
Cement and leash, tens of dollars to make hundreds of pieces. Sensor
If you want a more modern style, try the diy cement pot. Buy a bag of white cement (up to $20) in a building shop and find an abandoned plastic bowl as a mold. Cement and water are mixed by 3:1 and poured into the bowl, and a small plastic cup is pressed into it to form an empty space, waiting for a 24-hour distillation。
The first time i did it, there was an irregular air hole on the surface, and it was like a japanese manual pottery. Scratch the corners with sandpaper, plant the turtles, and friends say it looks like a $200 designer brand. Cost? Less than five bucks apiece。
If the cement is too heavy, it's easier to entangle. Buy a roll of leash (10 pieces) and find an old plastic pot and wrap the leash around it with thermal melt. By changing the line in different colours in half the time, or by creating a geometric pattern, the cheap plastic basin can be transformed in minutes. This unique flower pot is on the balcony, the wind is not afraid of the sun, and it carries its natural breath。
To be honest, every time i see a flower pot in a flower market that is expensive and ugly, i'd like to persuade you not to be the boss. Do it yourself, save money and be pretty, and enjoy the fun of creation。
Doodles and collages, make the flower pot your emotional canvas
If you have acrylic paint, it's easier. Even a hand injury can do amazing things. Buy a box of acetylene (about $10) at the stationery store, find a dishwasher sponge, paint it on the flowerpot. Deep blue bottoms, white and gold at random, can mimic the stars。
I tried to cut geometry from old newspapers, put it on a flower pot, and paint a transparent paint, especially the northern wind. And again, i put my cat's claws on dry cement, and this flower pot is now my favorite, because it records the traces of the cat's childhood。
The most important thing is, these diy bouquets are the more delicious they are. Cement slowly changes moss, the line gets darker over time, and the scratches on the cups become stories. When you're no longer worried about the expensive and ugly flower pots that you buy, you actually find something more precious — the ability to spend ordinary days。
After all, the flower pot is not just a container of soil, it's a small home of plants, it's an extension of your life attitude. Next time you want to buy a flower pot, don't hurry up and see what you can fix. You'll find that the cheap and beautiful flower pots are never in a shopping cart between your hands。
