On top of the burlap, you can decorate with lace or glue buttons.

Blackboard paint and crayons

Another new trend among plant lovers is to paint regular terracotta flower pots with slate paint. On such wonderful pots you can write with chalk, like on a real school board.

You can leave funny and important messages or write the name of a plant, for example. This decor can be especially useful when transplanting flowers, since you can always erase the old name and replace it with a new one.

There is nothing difficult in making such a pot. The most important thing is to wash and degrease the surface so that the paint lies evenly. Then the dried and clean pot is covered with slate paint in several layers.

If you plan to keep the pots on the terrace, then instead of chalk it is better to take a special marker for the board, then no rain will be able to wash your inscription off.

Knitted things

And if you know how to handle knitting needles or a crochet, then your imagination has a place to roam.

Clothespins

If you have wooden clothespins lying around at home, then they can also be used to build a small and beautiful pot for succulents. To do this, you need to take a ready-made plastic container for seedlings and glue clothespins to it.

Also, a cut plastic bottle or other similar container is taken as a basis. The resulting product can be additionally decorated by gluing sea pebbles, shells, buttons or beads.

Geometry

Glue the duct tape to the pot, forming different geometric shapes, and then paint the product in the desired color. After the pot is dry, remove the tape. The stylish and laconic design of your new pots will delight you.

Steampunk

If you have accumulated a lot of unnecessary little things, such as a variety of nuts, cogs, keys, buttons and other nonsense, which it is a pity to throw out and there is no way to find a use, then the next idea will appeal to you.

Try to decorate your indoor flowers in steampunk style... All you need is a glue gun and gold paint. Glue all this "wealth" with glue to the pot and paint with automotive gold paint from a spray can. Done!
