Introduction

I moved into my new office recently, and I was excited to decorate the walls. My only problem? Desks and cubicles are so boring! Luckily, I’ve discovered that it’s actually really easy to make planters out of empty water bottles that can be hung on any wall for an instant pop of color. Here’s how you do it:

Choose your planters

The first step in planning your wall planters is to choose the right materials. You want your wall planters to fit well with the existing decor of your space, so it’s important that they are the right shape and size. There are two main considerations when choosing materials: whether or not you want a planter that can be planted year-round, and what type of soil will work best for your plants (or lack thereof).

If you plan on having plants growing inside the planter all year round, then it makes sense to consider using plastic instead of wood or metal since these materials may warp over time from moisture build up. Plastic is also much easier to clean than other materials because it doesn’t hold onto dirt as easily as other types do—this can be especially useful if there tends to be lots of foot traffic near where you place these types of containers!

On top of those things though…

Choose your plants

There are a few things to consider when choosing plants for your wall planters. First, try to choose plants that are native to your area, since they will be more likely to thrive in your climate and soil conditions. Second, it’s best to choose drought tolerant plants, as these will require less frequent watering and pruning while still providing the same benefits of having greenery on the walls.

Finally, try not to choose plants that need frequent pruning or lots of water because this could be frustrating if you’re doing it yourself in an office setting–or even worse (depending on how much you like your coworkers), you may end up with dead leaves floating around in the sink or clogging up drains!

Drill a hole in the bottom of each planter and insert a screw.

Drill a hole in the bottom of each planter, and insert a screw. Make sure the screw is long enough to go through the planter and into the wall. Drill another hole in the top of each planter and insert another screw from inside.

Find the center of each wall section you have chosen to hang your plants on and mark them with a pencil.

• On the wall sections you are planning to hang your planters, find the center and mark it with a pencil.
• Drill a small hole at each pencil mark (a 3/16-inch drill bit works well for this project).
• Use a level to make sure that each wall section is straight before hanging your first planter.
• Use a pencil to mark where one of your planters will go on each section of wall, then use your level again to make sure it’s straight before drilling holes for screws into those marks (again using a 3/16-inch drill bit).

Screw your plants into the wall! Hang your plants and enjoy the air freshening benefits!

Once you have your planters hanging, it’s time for the fun part: filling them up with plants! There are so many different kinds of plants that would work well in this type of setting. Personally, I would choose some kind of succulent or cactus—they’re easy to care for and don’t require a lot of water.

Other potential options include ferns and small trees that could be hung directly beside one another on hooks attached to the wall by chains. If you want something more exotic, try bonsai trees! They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and will look great sitting next to all your other home decor items.

And if none of those options seem quite right for you…well, then go ahead and DIY something else entirely! The world is your oyster when it comes to plant life; there really is no limit to what you can do here (except maybe trees).

You create a nice place to work with just a few basic supplies

You can create a nice place to work with just a few basic supplies. All you need is a few planters, some soil, and some plants. You can make your own planter out of any material that will hold water (like plastic), but I prefer using terra cotta clay pots because they look nice and are inexpensive.

Conclusion

Once you have your planters hung, you’re ready to start planting! The best thing about this DIY project is that it can be customized to suit any office setting. Whether you have wood paneling or brick walls (or even brick floors!), these plants will look great anywhere.
