Introduction
Plastic plant pots are a great way to add greenery in your home or garden. However, these pots can be unsightly and take away from the aesthetic of your space. Covering the pots is a simple and easy way to enhance their appearance, and we will show you how to do it.
Materials needed
To cover your plastic plant pots, you will need a few materials:
Fabric or paper of your choice
Scissors
Double-sided tape
Ruler or measuring tape
Measuring the pot
The first step is to measure the circumference and height of the pot. With a ruler or measuring tape, measure around the widest part of the pot and add an inch or two to allow for overlapping. Then, measure the height of the pot from the bottom to the top rim.
Cutting the fabric/paper
Using the measurements taken in the previous step, cut the fabric or paper to the appropriate size. To make sure the fabric or paper fits well, add an extra inch to the height measurement to allow for overlap at the top and bottom of the pot.
Applying double-sided tape
Once the fabric or paper is cut to size, apply double-sided tape along one edge of the material. Be sure to apply the tape evenly and consistently along the entire length of the edge.
Wrapping the pot
Next, carefully wrap the fabric or paper around the pot, starting at the edge with the double-sided tape. Be sure to line up the edge of the material with the bottom of the pot and press firmly. Slowly wrap the material around the pot, overlapping the extra inch at the top and bottom of the pot. Press firmly as you go to ensure the material adheres to the pot.
Final touches
Once the fabric or paper is wrapped around the pot, you can trim any excess material using scissors. If you wish, you can also add any additional decorative elements to the pot, such as ribbon or twine. And there you have it! A beautifully covered plastic plant pot.
Conclusion
Covering plastic plant pots is a great way to enhance the appearance of your home or garden. With just a few materials and some patience, you can transform unsightly plastic pots into stylish additions to your space.
