A store-bought plastic planter can be easily transformed with a roll of string and glue. Processed by him lateral surface tightly wrapped with twine or cord.

However, with a lot of advantages, plastic flowerpots have a couple of disadvantages. They are not very durable when used outside the home, and the products cannot be called original.

Ceramic flower pots

When choosing a ceramic pot, you should pay attention to the presence of a drainage hole, as well as the outer covering.

Unglazed clay retains porosity, which improves the microclimate inside the pot, but reduces the durability of flower pots. When watering tap water Untidy stains may appear on the walls. Outside the home, containers are in danger of destruction:

• increased air humidity;
• sudden changes in temperature, especially freezing and thawing.

Painted or glazed ceramics look very impressive and are much stronger, but they warm up slowly and do not remove excess moisture well.

In addition, a flowerpot can significantly improve the lighting of plants and simplifies care if there are a large number of flowers in the house.

When choosing a rope for weaving, it is better to give preference to samples made of wear-resistant fiber that does not stretch under load, does not fade in the sun and is not susceptible to moisture. The same requirements apply to wicker flower pots for outdoor use.

Floor and table flower pots

Large plants, e.g. indoor lemon, monstera, ficus or lush fern, - magnificent decoration Houses. To make them look even more impressive, the pot can be placed in an original flowerpot.

One option is a cement pot. As a base, a quickly hardening mixture is taken, which is poured into a prepared mold and after some time a strong casting-pot is obtained. Another way to use the material is to drink it into a textile scrap and give it a suitable look, wait until the composition dries. This pot can be used indoors and outdoors. garden plot. For a greater decorative effect, the casting is painted and even covered with mosaics.

A similar design for flowers of any size can be assembled at home. It will be useful both on the windowsill and in the garden, especially when the plants are deprived of the daily attention of the gardener.

The simplest flowerpot with automatic watering can be made from an ordinary one. plastic pot. The main thing is that it is of a suitable size, and its bottom has many large drainage holes. A shipping container in which flowers arrive at the store is ideal. Under the drainage, a plastic mosquito net is laid at the bottom. It will prevent the soil from being washed away. Several nylon cords are threaded through the holes so that their ends remain hanging freely.

Beautiful wall decoration

Pots are not at all a whim for plants, and all flower lovers know this. Ampelous, climbing plants They feel and look best in hanging flower pots.

Plants in the interior look much more elegant if the flower pots are decorated with weaving using the macrame technique.

Material for flower pots

What material is needed for pots using the macrame technique? The material must be durable, not easily soiled, pliable, elastic, and not slippery.

To make the knots clear and expressive, you need to weave them tightly enough.

Regarding color range, then everything is at your discretion. Here are some examples:

Pots for several flowers can be of the same color...

Basic rules for creating a simple flowerpot (for beginners)

1) Select a design and suitable material.

2) Cut the threads into pieces of the required length.

3) We fasten the threads on a working basis. There should be four ends (sometimes three or another number).

4) Make a loop for hanging the flowerpot. A ring is often used for fastening.

5) Then we begin to knit twisted. They need to be knitted in four of the required length (or another number, according to your plan).

6) Measure the diameter of the pot so that it fits well in the flowerpot.

7) Select a pattern of knots with which we will braid the base - the flower pot. Most often this is .

8) We knit a recess for the flowerpot.

9) At the end, we secure the work with a tight knot so that the flowerpot does not fall out of the flowerpot.

10) Cut the threads, leaving the ends long. They can be fluffed or beads attached to them to give the product an original look.

Pattern for weaving flower pots using macrame technique for beginners

You will need:

• cord with a diameter of 5 mm (length 40 m)
• metal or wooden ring with a diameter of 4.5 cm

Cut the cord into 8 pieces of 5 m each.

Fold the thread so that one end is 3.5 m and the other 1.5 m and secure it to the ring. Make a loop by bringing it under the ring. Bend it over the base towards you and pull the ends of the thread into the loop. Lock on the bottom.

Fasten parts of the rope to the ring so that 2 long (working) parts are located along the edges, 2 short (axial) parts are located between the long parts.

To prevent the threads from getting in the way, tie them into a skein and secure with rubber bands

We weave the handles of flowerpots

Divide all the threads into 4 groups (2 long and 2 short parts). Weave single long pieces of rope.

You need to tie approximately 30 knots or approximately 50 cm (their number depends on the thickness of the rope and the required length of the product).

Secure the twisted chain with two flat knots:

Weave three more twisted chains in the same way.

We weave a basket for a flowerpot

To do this, weave 1 flat knot with two right ropes from one group and 2 flat knots with left ropes from the group closest to the right at a distance of 8 cm from the last knots. We repeat 4 times, sequentially including all the ropes in a circle.

We measure 8 centimeters...

...we fasten the threads with a flat knot...

Knit three rows of warp.

Step back a little from the last knots and use the braiding method to gather the ropes into one bundle.

Braid method

The braid must be very strong so that the flower pot does not break!

We pull all the threads into a bundle. Take a piece of thread, fold it in half and add it to all the threads with the loop facing up.

Using one thread from the bundle from top to bottom, we make several turns.

We insert the end of the cord into the loop and pull the ends of the loop down so that the cord comes out from below under the turns. Pull the second end of the loop up and pull it under the winding.

We carefully cut the upper end of the thread, and hide the lower end along with the rest of the threads.

Braid weaving pattern

Leave the length of the thread for the tassel about 20 - 30 cm, cut the ends with sharp scissors. The pot is ready!

Two-level flowerpot “Juliana” using macrame technique

Most often, a flowerpot is woven for one flowerpot, but it can be two (or more) level. The shape, size, patterns, and material for it are also very diverse.

The Juliana flowerpot is woven from ordinary linen cord. It is designed for two flowers, located above and below.

Length finished product about 70 cm

Required material:

• linen cord 5 mm thick (length 40 m)
• 2 rings with a diameter of approximately 4 and 6 cm
• 8 beads for decoration

The procedure for weaving pots “Juliana”

1) Cut the cord into 8 pieces of 5 m each. Mark the middle of the thread.

2) Make a ring for fastening. We take 4 threads, place them parallel and horizontally to each other. From the marked middle weave “up” and “down” about 8 flat square knots. We fold this resulting lace in half and thread it through a ring of smaller diameter. And if you don’t have a ring, then weave a few more knots, make a “loop” and tie 1-2 flat knots on all cords to strengthen it. Another option is to secure the thread using the braiding method.

3) We divide 8 ropes into 4 groups of 2 pieces and weave about 6-8 knots. It can be replaced with regular flat knots or weaved into a twisted chain.

4) We fix it on the second ring, 5-6 cm away from the last knot, using horizontal rep knots. Between these cords we hang the remaining threads, folded in half. Now we have 16 threads at work.

5) Weave beads. We divide the threads into groups of 4 pieces. We knit 8 flat knots in each group, first weaving in one bead for decoration. Then we weave 2 more flat knots, weave a second bead and again 8 flat knots.

6) We weave the base for the first pot. We retreat 5 cm from the last knots, weave twisted chains, working with threads from neighboring ropes, shifting the knots.

7) Check if our flowerpot fits. If it doesn’t fit or, conversely, falls out, undo the knots and tie them correctly. Weave twisted chains about 20-25 cm. (Their length depends on the height of your pot.)

8) Weave the base for the second pot. We retreat 10-12 cm from the last knot, using 2 threads from adjacent chains, weave one flat knot each.

9) Again we retreat 12 cm, collect all the cords using the braiding method.

Be sure to try on the pot when you finally secure the threads. This will be the place for the second pot. It should fit there securely.

10) Design of the “tassel”. Back off 25-30 cm and cut the cords. You can fluff them, untwist them, or add beads for greater decorativeness.

To make it clearer, watch the video on how to knit a “Juliana” flowerpot:

Openwork flowerpot with “Butterfly” pattern

To weave such an openwork flower pot you need:

• rope – 50 m
• three rings with a diameter of 7 cm, 10 cm and 21 cm
• scissors
• pins for fastening thread
• work pillow
• hook for attaching flowerpots

Operating procedure

1) Cut the threads: 3 parts of 8 m, 6 parts of 3 m, 2 parts of 1 m, 1 thread - 2.5 m

2) Wrap the 10 and 21 cm diameter rings tightly with rope so that there is no gap. A ring with a diameter of 7 cm must be braided with double flat knots with a thread 2.5 m long.

Diagrams of the main macrame components of this flowerpot

3) Marking the middle, lay all the threads vertically and secure them in the middle with pins.

Place the shortest ones (meters) along the edges. With these threads, tie 8 cm chains of double flat knots in both directions from the middle. All other threads will be the basis.

4) Distribute the threads by 6 (long ones - along the edges) and in each part, first tie a chain of 4 double flat knots, then make 4 more of the same knots, leaving 3 picot air loops between them (Butterfly pattern , rice. 6).

5) Using horizontal rep knots, secure the ends of the chains ( rice. 2) on a ring with a diameter of 10 cm. Next, first weave 3 “butterflies”, and then simple chains of 4 knots without picot. Tighten the bundle of cord under the chains using the “braid” method.

6) Again divide the threads of 6 into groups and tie 3 hanging cords 40 cm long. Weave each one like this: first with single flat knots of 17 cm of twisted chain, then a “butterfly”, then a “pea” ( rice. 8), again a “butterfly” and then 13 cm of twisted chain.

7) Secure the ends of the hanging cords to a ring with a diameter of 21 cm, tying 3 threads in between them (a total of 9 threads of 1 m each, folded in half). On every 6 threads under the ring, make a “butterfly”.

8) Connect together the two outer cords from the adjacent butterfly patterns and tie 6 chains of 6 double flat knots, leaving the two inner ones free. We make a bundle of all the threads and tighten it using the “braiding” method.

We decorate the ends of the cords with “rollers” ( rice. 12). The finished length of the knitted brush is 25 cm.

How to choose flower boxes outside the window from 5 types

Flower boxes are a decoration for any exterior, be it a kitchen or living room window in a multi-story building, or a loggia or window in a country house in a private house. In order for the flowers to bloom wildly and delight their owners, and to ensure that caring for them is not difficult, it is important to choose the optimal containers for the plants.

But that’s not all: it’s important to firmly and securely secure these boxes outside the window using brackets, stands or other fasteners.

Boxes for growing flowers outside the window

The first thing you need to pay attention to if you decide to decorate a window or the area behind the balcony with flowers is the shape and material of the containers in which the plants will be grown.

Some crops require a certain depth, while others, on the contrary, actively grow in breadth. That is why I recommend planning in advance which flowers will be planted.

What types of flower boxes are there:

1. Plastic. The most popular option today for placing flowers outside the window are plastic models. They may be different sizes, colors, shapes, and you can buy them in almost any flower shop. The most attractive advantage of plastic solutions is the price.

1. 2222Wooden. Containers for flowers made of wood are more durable, they are versatile and reliable, and their appearance capable of decorating an exterior made in any style. Wood can be painted to match the color of the house's decoration; it is suitable for balconies or windows of high-rise buildings, and for private houses, dachas, and cottages.

TOP 5 types of stands and holders for flower boxes

They highlight not only different types, which are used for growing flowers outside the window, but also different types of stands, brackets and other holders that these pots hold. Types of fastening systems differ in material, shape and installation method, and I will tell you about the 5 most common ones.

Stationary holders: 1 type

Holders can be either stationary or removable. Stationary ones are attached once - and on for many years, to the balcony or directly to the wall under the window. For such models, it is important to immediately select the correct width and height of the stand so that it is convenient to water the flowers, pull out and put back the pots.

Stationary holders are immediately selected for a specific type of pot, and since different flowers require containers of different widths and depths, you need to immediately decide which plants you plan to grow.

Removable holders: 2 types

Removable stands are not as stable as stationary ones, but I would recommend using them for those who often rearrange pots and change the range of plants they grow. Another advantage of removable options is ease of installation.

Thanks to special hooks, such stands can be easily mounted on a loggia or balcony railing with your own hands. And if you decide to grow more flowers or use wider or deeper pots, you can simply change the mountings for the flower boxes outside the window.

Brackets for hanging pots: 3 types

Metal brackets for hanging flowerpots are no less popular today. They allow you to decorate a balcony, loggia and the space outside the window with boxes of flowers that are hung on the wall. It looks beautiful and is suitable for windows and balconies of any size, since such mounts do not take up much space.

If the loggia area allows, you can also place on the floor floor stands, made in the same style as the holders for hanging flower pots. This will look harmonious and will allow you to grow your own beautiful mini-garden on the balcony or veranda.

Metal holders: 4 types

Today, forged brackets for flower boxes outside the window, as well as metal stands, are especially popular. Forging can be made in the shape of a grapevine, currant leaves and even flowers, such as roses. But even simple options forgings with smooth lines, or, conversely, sharp corners, will decorate the facade of the house or the outer part of the balcony.

Plastic holders: 5 types

Recently they have become popular and plastic coasters under the pots. They are cheaper than metal ones, they are easier to install (this is especially true for residents of high-rise buildings), and the abundance of options is very rich on the market.

But such brackets are only suitable for light flower pots. It is also important to fasten them very firmly, as they may not withstand weather conditions (snow, rain, wind).

Installation of pots outside the windows of houses and apartments

Both residents of houses and owners of apartments in high-rise buildings, wanting to beautifully furnish their homes, are interested in how to secure a flower box outside the window. Fastening elements of holders for containers with flowers can be placed either under the cornice or attached directly to the frame.

On ready-made flower boxes made of wood or plastic, you need to install dowels, the head of which will be used for installation. It is easier to attach flower boxes or brackets for them in your own home than, for example, in high-rise buildings.

But if you decide to do the installation yourself, you will need simple instructions:

1. Behind the window, drill two holes at a distance at which the dowels will be attached.
2. Install dowels there, and seal the excess space inside the holes with cement mortar.
3. After trying on the flower box, mark where its bottom will be.
4. At the level of the bottom of the box, drill two more holes, focusing on the width of the box, and install L-shaped elements in them.
5. Place the flower box on dowels. The L-shaped elements underneath will reliably protect it from falling.

These instructions are suitable for those who want to install a box with fastenings. But you can also install brackets and holders for flowers, which I talked about in the previous section, and only then put pots there. Such stands are also installed by drilling holes.

Conclusions

Boxes for growing flowers outside the window and stands for them will become a real decoration of the house, window or loggia, and independent decorative element. Tell us what boxes and brackets you use when growing flowers outside your windows? And more useful tips on the topic you will find in the video in this article.

To decorate the garden and home, gardeners often use hanging flowerpots.

Baskets made of wicker look very beautiful, which can be made in a wide variety of shapes, for example, in the shape of a ball, a cone or a rectangular box.

Perhaps, flowerpots made of wire or forged metal will become a harmonious decoration of any landscape design. This option is especially attractive because it creates the feeling of a kind of complete “flight” of the flowerbed.

In addition to the shape, material and design of the flowerpot itself, when choosing it, it is important to pay attention to the fastening. In addition, the fastening of containers for hanging flower beds must be very durable and reliable.

This is necessary so that when decorating a flower bed in the yard, you can rotate the plant from time to time to protect it from sunlight.

Specifics of planting hanging flower beds

Planting a hanging flower bed depends on the shape of the flowerpot. In simple flowerpots, reminiscent of pots for indoor flowers, that is, those that have only one open surface, plants are planted as usual.

It is a completely different matter if the flowerpot is intended to create a hanging ball. In this case, the walls of the frame are filled with moss, which is designed to retain moisture, and the entire basket is covered with a special film, which is most often sold complete with such flowerpots

Then, in those places from where shoots should subsequently grow, it is necessary to make small holes. The seedlings should be carefully inserted into the holes made, soil should be poured inside the flowerpot and the plants should be planted on top.

After planting flowers to create a hanging flowerbed with your own hands, you should water the soil a little and hang the flowerpot in a cool place for several days.

Hanging flowers in the garden: which plants are suitable for hanging flower beds

To create hanging flower beds, it is better to choose low-maintenance plants that do not have special requirements for soil conditions.

In addition, when choosing inhabitants for such flowerpots, it is important to take into account the ratio of the size of their root system to the size of the pot.

For example, petunia roots grow very quickly, and if the flowerpot for this flower is less than 6-8 liters, then it root system will soon fill the entire volume of the container, which is why the plant may die.

Very beautiful design will have a hanging flowerbed with your own hands when planting lushly blooming annuals, for example, pansies, petunias, verbena, marigolds, etc. in flowerpots.

Almost all house plants, including Kalanchoe, nasturtiums, daisies, young plants, sedums, etc., also get along well and grow in a hanging pot or flowerpot.

Of course, bright colorful flowers will always become a worthy decoration of any garden or interior, but do not think that only flowering plants. For example, flowerpots with herbs – mint, rosemary, etc. – look very beautiful and stylish.

And for those who love originality, we can advise you to do something very unusual, but very useful decoration– a hanging basket with small-fruited vegetables, for example, strawberries, which will bear fruit even on the veranda or balcony.

Specifics of caring for hanging flower beds

Caring for plants planted in hanging pots depends on whether they have trays.

Baskets without a tray prevent stagnation of moisture in the soil, which, on the one hand, is good, as it slows down the rotting of the plant root system, but on the other hand, it can lead to a lack of moisture if the flowerbed is located in a sunny area.

If the flowerpot is equipped with a tray, then you should not water the plant too often, and also install it in darkened areas.

In addition, the soil in hanging flower beds needs to be fertilized periodically, because... during watering minerals they are washed in it.

In all other aspects, caring for plants in hanging garden beds is no different from caring for plants planted in open ground– they also need to be watered regularly, remove dried leaves and control pests.

Hanging flower beds are exactly the addition that can add brightness and expressiveness to any suburban area They can be hung in gazebos and pergolas, on fences and poles, on garden benches, in the recreation area, on the summer terrace, balcony and even on the walls of the house - everywhere they will look beautiful and harmonious.

However, when designing hanging outdoor flower beds, it is also important to take into account the style features personal plot. You can beautifully emphasize the beauty of the landscape with the help of bright color solutions or unusual shapes, or you can focus on the natural beauty of plants.

If such hanging flower beds “settle” in your garden, rest assured that this decision will not disappoint you. Beautiful flowers and plants, neat and well-groomed, always please the eye and create an atmosphere of comfort, and if they are also hung in beautiful, original flowerpots, then one can only envy such arrangement of the site.

Old enamel bowls, flower pots, and buckets will be used to create flowerpots. The containers are hung on chains and hung as high as possible so that any passerby can see and appreciate this beauty.

It's such a pleasure to make simple things for the garden with your own hands. Treat yourself to a hanging flower pot; it can perfectly decorate the porch of a private house or a balcony in a city apartment. And we will share with you a master class on how to make it...

What you will need:

• A woven wire basket, you can use an old one or even weave it yourself
• Sphagnum is peat moss, it is used in gardening and construction; you can find and collect it in a swampy forest or purchase it in specialized stores
• Rubber gloves

After you post sufficient quantity moss, place a piece of polyethylene on top and make small holes in it, it will help partially retain moisture.

Fill the remaining space with potting soil.

Start planting your flowers and plants. It seems to me that hanging petunias or other hanging flowers would look great in this pot.

How to make a hanging flower pot from a plastic container

1. Materials and tools. The lampshade itself. Galvanized wire with a diameter of 2 mm from the latest project. Key ring. Round nose pliers and pliers.

2. We prepare three pieces of wire 25 cm long.

3. Using pliers, bend a round eyelet at one end of each wire.

4. At the other end of each wire we make a “U”-shaped bend. After all modifications, the length of the three blanks should be the same.

5. Using an awl or the sharp end of scissors, we make three holes with our own hands in the area of ​​​​the neck of the lampshade.

6. Insert “U”-shaped hooks into the holes

7. We put wire blanks on the key ring. The pot is ready.

8. Planting plants. Plants can be varied, but it should be noted that the pot does not provide drainage and, if the plant requires frequent replanting, it may be difficult to remove the plant in this pot design.

Flowerpots can be built not only from cans, but also from plastic bottles (most common source material. which is always at hand).

Paint the surface of the pots with paints

You can also decorate the pots with twine

You will also need jute twine

Glue the beginning of the skein together with the handle fastenings.

And we begin to wrap the twine around the bucket. Make sure that each circle fits snugly together, without gluing the twine. When you have reached the bottom of the bucket, you can glue the last few circles, and also carefully glue the end of the twine.

Then all that remains is to make 4 holes and hang the flowerpot bucket decorated with twine.

Beads can be placed in any order. In our case, their diameter first increases and then decreases.

Decide on the height at which you want to fix the wooden beads, and tie a knot in this place on each pair of ropes.

Separate each pair of ropes, and knot the left rope from the first pair with the right rope from the second. In the same way, tie all six ropes in pairs. Repeat the procedure again, moving downwards.

Tie all three pairs of ropes in one knot, trim the ends of the ropes, or leave them as is.
