How to make a jute plant pot
If you are looking for a sustainable and eco-friendly way to spruce up your plants, making jute plant pots is a great option. Not only are they biodegradable, but they also add a rustic touch to your home decor. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a jute plant pot:
Materials Needed:
Jute rope
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Bowl (optional)
Step 1: Cut the Jute Rope
The first step is to decide how big you want your pot to be. Cut jute rope to the desired length, making sure to add a few extra inches for overlap. The thickness of the rope will determine the size of your pot. For a small pot, use a thin rope; for a larger pot, use a thicker rope.
Step 2: Start Coiling the Rope
Take one end of the rope and start coiling it, applying a small amount of hot glue to the bottom of the coil to hold it in place. Continue to coil the rope around itself, applying hot glue to the bottom and sides of the pot as you go. Keep coiling until you reach the desired height of the pot.
Step 3: Finish the Top of the Pot
Once you have reached the desired height of the pot, cut the jute rope and tuck the end under the last coil. Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the top of the pot, making sure to cover any loose ends or pieces of rope sticking out.
Step 4: Add Handles (Optional)
If you want to add handles to your jute plant pot, cut two pieces of jute rope to the desired length and attach them to the sides of the pot using hot glue. Make sure to reinforce the handles with extra hot glue so they don't fall off over time.
Step 5: Add a Lining (Optional)
If you want to prevent water from leaking through your plant pot, you can add a lining using a bowl or container that fits inside the pot. Simply place the bowl or container inside the jute pot and fill it with soil and your plant.
And that's it! Your jute plant pot is now complete and ready to use. You can experiment with different sizes and thicknesses of jute rope to create a variety of pots that will complement your home decor perfectly. Plus, you can feel good about using sustainable materials that are kind to the environment and add a touch of natural beauty to your space.
