Planter with old trash can

Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make this pretty planter out of an old trash can. It is ideal to give a second life to a children's bin, a ruined bin or one that we no longer want. It is also very beautiful in any corner of the house.

Do you want to know how you can do it?

Materials that we are going to need to make our planter with an old trash can

  • A wastepaper basket. Ideally, it should be one of the closed metal ones so that the water from the plant does not come out. If you are going to use it for artificial plants you can use mesh bins.
  • Different types of rope, both in colors and sizes.
  • Hot silicone gun.

Hands on craft

  1. The first step is see if we want to keep any part of the design from our trash can. In my case I am going to leave some decorative strips visible.

  1. We begin to wind the strings in sections. We can leave the area to be covered wider with the thicker rope, so we will do the craft faster. Ideally, it should be in the central area of ​​the bin. We are fixing the strings every so often with a little silicone hot, emphasizing the ends to prevent the string from unraveling.

  1. With a lighter colored rope compared to the one we have used mostly in the bin, let's make some rope tassels. You can see how to make tassels in the following link: Wool and yarn pompoms and tassels.
  2. We put several turns of the same rope of the tassels and we are introducing this rope between the head of the tassels until they are all in place. You can also use a single thick rope to cover the entire body of the planter and use that same rope to go through the tassels and attach them to the wastebasket.

And ready! We only have to place the pot somewhere where it stands out and put a plant inside.

I hope you cheer up and do this craft and make different designs.
