Recycled tray for plants
The materials we will need to create a tray for plants are as follows:
- Sticks of wood of the desired size
- Gun of silicone thermoadhesive and sticks
- Painting acrylic and brush
Step 1:
We begin to form the tray, for this we hit a stick on another that will create the base.
Step 2:
We continue sticking sticks with a drop of hot silicone to fill the crossbar. We will leave a small part at the beginning and at the end that sticks out.
Step 3:
When completing one side we give turn around and stick another stick crosswise at the bottom.
Step 4:
Now let's give a little height to the tray recycled for plants, so that it is not completely flat against the ground. This will make it prettier and easier to transport.
Step 5:
When we have a height of about 4 or 5 sticks, we finished decorating the top. We can place 2 more sticks to create a shape on which to place the plant.
Step 6:
We begin to paint the tray for plants, we can use single color acrylic paint or choose several different ones to create a special design. They are so simple to make that you will love having several of different colors for each of your small plants.
Step 7:
And ready, once the paint is completely dry we can place those small plants and cacti that we have at home.
