How to Make Fabric Pot Plant Holders

Are you looking for a way to add some personality to your potted plants? Fabric pot plant holders are an easy and fun way to do just that! Not only do they add some flair to your plants, but they also protect your pots from scratches and damage. Plus, they're a great way to use up any fabric scraps you have laying around. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to make your own fabric pot plant holders from start to finish.

Materials

To make a fabric pot plant holder, you'll need the following materials:

Fabric of your choice

Measuring tape

Scissors

Sewing machine

Thread

Pins

Iron

Instructions

1. Measure your pot

The first step is to measure the pot you want to cover. Measure the circumference of the pot at its widest point, and measure the height of the pot. Write down these measurements so you don't forget them.

2. Cut your fabric

Using your measurements, cut a rectangular piece of fabric that is twice the circumference of your pot and the same height as your pot. For example, if your pot has a circumference of 14 inches and a height of 6 inches, your fabric should be 28 inches wide and 6 inches tall.

3. Sew the fabric

Fold your fabric in half with the wrong sides facing each other. Pin the short ends together and sew them together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. This will create a tube-shaped piece of fabric.

4. Hem the top edge

Fold the top edge of the fabric down about 1/4 inch and press it with an iron. Fold it down another 1/4 inch and press it again to create a hem. Pin the hem in place and sew along the edge using a straight stitch.

5. Finish the bottom edge

Fold the bottom edge of the fabric up about 1/4 inch and press it with an iron. Fold it up another 1/4 inch and press it again to create a hem. Pin the hem in place and sew along the edge using a straight stitch.

6. Insert your pot

Slip your fabric pot plant holder over your pot and adjust it so the bottom edge is straight and even. Fold the top edge down over the rim of the pot and you're done!

Conclusion

Making fabric pot plant holders is simple and easy, and it's a great way to add some unique style to your indoor or outdoor plants. Whether you use them to protect your pots, as a decorative touch or just to use up some extra fabric, these fabric pot plant holders are a great addition to any home.
