Plastic flower pots are light and easy to move, but not all look attractive.
But with these decorating ideas your flower pots can look fantastic.
When purchasing flowers from a nursery we often end up with many black plastic flower pots.
Rather than throw them away once the contents have been planted out, why not keep them?
Here are some ideas to get started.
Paint should be plastic rather than oil-based.
A rich brown which always looks really lovely with green plants, or something quite different might be fun.
For best results a hot glue gun will be needed to fix it on.
Here is how to fix rope onto those plastic flower pots.
They can be glued on over a contrast paint or even over rope.
Shells can be painted first or left natural.
For instance several rounds of rope at the base and sand, paint or shells at the top.
A big floppy bow would look great with a painted pot.
Naturally, such decorative tricks would only be for indoor pots.
This gives a subtle colour and an interesting texture.
Glue small pieces of broken colored tiles around the pot.
Once several decorated pots have been finished there will be enough for an outstanding feature.
Gardening with Plastic Flower Pots
Plastic flower pots have come a long way since your grandmothers time.
Todays plastics and molding techniques allow for a designer-quality product.
No longer are gardeners limited to those reddish- brown, plastic pots poorly masquerading as terra cotta.
In fact, they may have a few extra chores to complete when those autumn winds start to blow.
When Spring comes, all the pots will be clean and ready for another enjoyable gardening season.
