Weekend Projection Diy | Kokosnoot Hanging Planter

Well hi everyone, I’m pretty excited to conduct keep been invited dorsum to portion some other invitee post service on the wonderful spider web log - I’m Rachel, from confetti duvet comprehend DIY I shared a piddling spell agone here}.

Inspired yesteryear these gorgeous tiles I stumbled upon via Pinterest as well as my undying dearest for succulents - this piddling DIY projection was born.




It requires really piddling inwards the agency of budget OR science as well as makes a super thoughtful handmade Christmas gift to kicking - win:win right?

So to brand yourself 1 of these piddling planters you lot volition need:

* one-half a kokosnoot shell
* a paw drill {I used this piddling arts and crafts drill from Amazon}
* 4 x 75cm lengths of string or twine
* 4 x wooden beads
* acrylic paints inwards your selection of colours
* washi tape
* a piddling metallic keyring hoop
* a handful of succulent & cactus soil {similar to this one}
* some small-scale succulents as well as cacti {cuttings would piece of occupation nicely too}

Firstly you’ll desire to create upwardly one's hear on your blueprint - I marked yesteryear shapes out amongst launder record to brand the icon piece of occupation super easy!

Paint your piddling one-half kokosnoot as well as larn out to dry.

Once dry out accept your arts and crafts drill as well as popular v holes into your coconut, 1 for drainage inwards the base, as well as 2 on each side advertizement the meridian border to hang it from.

Then accept your wrap as well as your beads - thread your twin through each hole, accept the ends of the twine, along amongst a bead as well as gently force both ends of the wrap through the bead {I constitute twisting it every bit I pushed it through made the procedure easier!}.

You should as well as therefore conduct keep 4 equal lengths of wrap held inwards house amongst a piddling bead. You tin as well as therefore accept all 8 pieces of wrap as well as exercise 1 of 2 things - either accept the slowly road {like I did} as well as necktie them all together at the meridian around your piddling keyring hoop OR if you’re feeling fancy, you lot could exercise a piddling chip of macrame amongst the 8 lengths of wrap earlier you lot attach them to the hoop! Pop a piddling soil into the bottom of the planter as well as accept each succulent, loosening the origin ball gently amongst your fingers to brand placement easier.

Plant upwardly all of your succulents as well as if you lot conduct keep some, add together some piddling cuttings to fill upwardly whatever gaps around your larger plants {succulents similar to larn cosy}.

I made 2 upwardly - 1 amongst a dyad of larger plants, as well as 1 amongst lots of piddling cuttings. That was it - you’re done as well as all you lot take away to exercise at 1 time is uncovering somewhere squeamish to hang them!

{TIP: Succulents are pretty slowly to expect afterwards - only brand certain they larn every bit much Sun every bit you lot tin mayhap give them, as well as that you lot don’t over H2O them. Only H2O your piddling planters when the soil looks completely dry out - normally 1 time a calendar week inwards Summer as well as 1 time a calendar month inwards Winter!}

Thanks for having me!
