If you love plants and want to add a touch of style to your home decor, a fabric pot plant holder is the perfect solution. Not only will it add some color to your space, but it will also protect your plants from harsh weather conditions. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your very own fabric pot plant holder.
Materials You’ll Need:
Fabric of your choice (cotton works well)
Scissors
Sewing machine
Thread
Pins
Measuring tape
Iron and ironing board
Plant pot that you want to cover
Instructions:
Measure your plant pot: Measure the circumference of your plant pot and add an extra inch to this measurement to allow for seam allowance. Measure the height of your plant pot and add an extra inch to this measurement as well. Write down these measurements as they will be needed for later.
Cut your fabric: Cut out a rectangular piece of fabric using the measurements you took in step 1. Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other, and cut along the fold so that you have two equal pieces of fabric.
Sew the sides: Pin the two pieces of fabric together, right sides facing each other, and sew along the two longer edges using a ? inch seam allowance. Turn the fabric right side out and press with an iron to create a crisp edge.
Create the bottom seam: Fold the fabric in half again, this time with the wrong sides facing each other. Pin the two sides together, ensuring that the sewn edges line up perfectly. Sew along this edge with a ? inch seam allowance. This will create the bottom seam of your pot plant holder.
Create the top seam: Fold over the top edge of the fabric by ? inch and press with an iron. Fold over the same edge again, this time by 1 inch, and press with an iron. Pin in place and sew along this edge to create a neat top seam.
Insert the plant pot: Once the top seam is complete, turn the fabric pot holder right side out and insert your plant pot. Adjust the fabric so that it fits snugly around the pot.
And there you have it – your very own fabric pot plant holder! You can let your creativity run wild by choosing different fabrics and colors to match your home decor or the style of your plants. These fabric pot plant holders also make great gifts for friends or family members who love plants. Happy crafting!
