Overview

Turn a plain pot into a custom creation with this easy DIY make.

Steps

1Gather your tools and materials

Below are all of the tools and materials you'll need to complete this project.

2Heat up the glue gun

Allow the glue gun to heat up. Lay out pot and rope end, ready to begin gluing at the base of the pot.

3Apply glue at the base of the pot

Wearing gloves, apply a line of hot glue around the base of the pot and carefully roll the rope over the glue. Continue working your way up the pot with glue and rope until the entire pot is covered. Once at the top, cut the rope and secure the end with glue. Leave to set.

4Plant up your pot

Once completely dry, pull away any dried glue on the outside of the rope. Then plant up the pot with your choice of plants!
