One of the biggest questions that arises from this process is how to make a starter plant pot. While there are many options out there, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to creating your own starter plant pot using materials you likely already have at home.

Materials Needed

To create your own starter plant pot, you will need the following materials:

Newspaper

Scissors

Vinegar

Water

A small mixing bowl

A round object, such as a jar or cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to create your own starter plant pot:

1. Cut the newspaper into strips that are approximately two inches wide and ten inches long. You will need six strips for each pot you plan on making.

2. Mix two cups of water with one tablespoon of vinegar in a small bowl. This will be used to moisten the newspaper strips.

3. Wet each strip of newspaper with the vinegar and water mixture. Make sure the strips are fully coated with the mixture.

4. Lay one strip of newspaper on a flat surface, such as a table or countertop. Place the round object, such as a jar or cup, in the center of the strip.

5. Fold the edges of the newspaper up and over the object, so that the object is in the center of a folded newspaper strip that looks like a cup. Repeat this step using two more strips of newspaper, so you have a total of three folded cups around the object.

6. Take the remaining three strips of newspaper and lay them on top of the three cups. Make sure they are placed so that they cover the edges of the cups, forming a solid layer on top of the cups.

7. Gently press down on the newspaper cups to make sure they adhere to the top layer of newspaper.

8. Carefully remove the round object from the center of the cup, leaving you with a newspaper cup that is perfect for a starter pot!
