Ideas for decorating a flower pot.

String and threads

To improve the appearance of a plain store-bought pot and add some personality, you can decorate it with threads. To do this, coat the pot with PVA glue and start wrapping it with thick threads. Instead of threads, you can use a rope or even ordinary laces.

There is nothing complicated 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 chalkboard 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 off your inscription.

Knitted things
