The Just-Paint-<\/span>Em<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not feeling up to the task of making a pot from scratch,\u00a0<\/span>consider\u00a0<\/span>recycl<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0old pots by giving them a new design.\u00a0<\/span>Simply\u00a0<\/span>select<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a color scheme you like and get creative with fun draw<\/span>ings, clear-cut designs<\/span>\u00a0or funny texts. It\u2019s an easy way to bring new life and lend your personality to your plant pots.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Yarn Design<\/h2>\n

This<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>rather simple approach<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>style requires just an old container<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2014<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>whether that\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span>\u00a0an<\/span>\u00a0old pot<\/span>, plastic can<\/span>\u00a0or box<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2014<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and some yarn and glue.\u00a0<\/span>S<\/span>tart at the bottom of the container and g<\/span>lue the end of a yarn string<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hen<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0circle\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span>\u00a0around the container to the top, where you<\/span>\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0glue it again<\/span>\u00a0to<\/span>\u00a0secure the string. Don\u2019t forget to drill hole<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0at the bottom<\/span>–<\/span>most point of the container<\/span>\u00a0to ensure good drainage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cement Chic<\/h2>\n

\"diy<\/p>\n

Cement is a\u00a0<\/span>versatile material,\u00a0<\/span>and its<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>look and rough feel is\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>style now\u00a0<\/span>more\u00a0<\/span>than ever.\u00a0<\/span>And, w<\/span>ith the rise of\u00a0<\/span>industrial design<\/span>\u00a0\u2014<\/span>\u00a0as well as a predilection for\u00a0<\/span>natural imperfections<\/span>\u00a0\u2014<\/span>\u00a0cement is easy to implement and can be a fun addition to any room.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To try this option, first f<\/span>ind a mold<\/span>\u00a0that<\/span>\u00a0you can use to create the pot and\u00a0<\/span>make<\/span>\u00a0a hole at the bottom of<\/span>\u00a0the future pot.\u00a0<\/span>Next, a<\/span>fter placing the cement carefully, le<\/span>t<\/span>\u00a0it\u00a0<\/span>dry\u00a0<\/span>complete<\/span>ly<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>O<\/span>nce\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s set,<\/span>\u00a0take it out and either leave it as is<\/span>\u00a0or decorate it with pastel colors<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>O<\/span>r<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for an edgier look<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>use tape to create clea<\/span>r-cut lines and paint with metallic gold\u00a0<\/span>and black<\/span>\u00a0paint<\/span>\u00a0for complementary contrasts.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ex-Tin<\/span>Can<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve got tin cans lying around, peel off the stickers and clean them thoroughly<\/span>\u00a0to turn them into gorgeous pots.\u00a0<\/span>All you\u00a0<\/span>have to<\/span>\u00a0do is d<\/span>rill holes at the bottom<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Then<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0you can either use them as they are<\/span>\u00a0for a rough\u00a0<\/span>feel, or<\/span>\u00a0add a touch of sophistication with a little matte or even metall<\/span>ic paint. The possibilities are endless, so\u00a0<\/span>embrace your creativity and get painting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Marble Wonder<\/h2>\n

T<\/span>o\u00a0<\/span>create<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>faux\u00a0<\/span>marble design on your old pots,\u00a0<\/span>try marble painting.\u00a0<\/span>First, get<\/span>\u00a0a container large enough\u00a0<\/span>to submerge your pots under water.\u00a0<\/span>Then, o<\/span>n the surface of the water<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0use either\u00a0<\/span>acrylic paint or nail polish to create colorful designs<\/span>. These<\/span>\u00a0will latch onto your pots and turn them into gorgeous<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0marble-like homes for your plants. Color combinations that work\u00a0<\/span>well together<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are black, white, gr<\/span>ay, gold, rose or pink, purple, and green.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rustic Milkman<\/h2>\n

One of the simplest designs\u00a0<\/span>to DIY<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is also a responsible recycling practice<\/span>\u00a0\u2014<\/span>\u00a0turn your old glass jars or bottles into pots and vases<\/span>, which<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0especially useful for propagating your\u00a0<\/span>plants. To give them a rustic feel,\u00a0<\/span>add some jute or a square of hessian<\/span>. Then,<\/span>\u00a0tie<\/span>\u00a0it<\/span>\u00a0with a\u00a0<\/span>piece of\u00a0<\/span>yarn<\/span>\u00a0or<\/span>\u00a0string to complete the look.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, t<\/span>he<\/span>se pots<\/span>\u00a0are easy to integrate in any spot in the house<\/span>. They also<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>work\u00a0<\/span>well<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with plants\u00a0<\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>can survive in water with<\/span>out<\/span>\u00a0soil<\/span>\u00a0because you can\u00a0<\/span>see the root system form and know when the plants are ready to repot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
