They&#8217;re also an easy way to get started with gardening and can be made with just a few supplies. This article will walk you through the steps of making your own flower planter, from choosing a vase to adding flowers and taking care of them!<\/p>\n<h2>FIRST STEP: PICK YOUR OWN VASE<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to pick your own vase.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few things you should consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The size of the vase and the size of the flowers. If you want to use large-sized flowers like roses on a small flower pot, then you may need a big vase to match them. If you want long-stemmed flowers that look beautiful with lots of leaves and petals, then it is best not to choose too small or narrow planters as they will look cramped inside. On the other hand, if there are multiple colors in your bouquet and each flower has its own unique shape and color combination, then choosing one large container can help make all those colors stand out even more than if they were in smaller containers with fewer colors per container (which might also make them harder to see).<\/li>\n<li>Make sure everything is clean before starting this project! Cleaning up after yourself will prevent any accidents from happening while working with tools like glue guns later on down the road\u2014and who wants glue gun burns?! And finally&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Make sure everything is dry before beginning anything else! Wet hands + wet paper = bad times for everyone involved<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>SECOND STEP: PAINT YOUR VASE<\/h2>\n<p>The second step is to paint your vase and then clean it, as you do not want to overlook this task. Decide what you want to use for the painting of your vase, and then proceed with painting it. You can either give it a coat or two of one color or multiple colors. The choice is yours, depending on how colorful you want your flower planter to be!<\/p>\n<p>When cleaning up after finishing painting your planter, remember that water might affect the previous coat of paint so make sure that all traces of water are dried before applying another one on top of them!<\/p>\n<h2>THIRD STEP: START ADDING YOUR FLOWERS<\/h2>\n<p>When you are planning to add the flowers, first decide which flowers are best for your planter. You want to pick something that will last and not wither away quickly. If you want to make sure they stay alive, use a little bit of moss on top of them so they do not dry out as much.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a flower that has long-lasting blooms. Some good examples are tulips or daffodils, which both have beautiful colors that last for a long time before they start dying off.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget about herbs! Herb plants can be grown in pots as well as planted directly in the ground outside (if it is warm enough). These herbs include basil, parsley and mint&#8211;all of which smell wonderful!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>TAKE CARE OF YOUR FLOWERS<\/h2>\n<p>Flower care is an important part of making your flower pots look great for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some helpful tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water them regularly, but not too much<\/li>\n<li>Remove dead flowers as soon as possible for a healthy looking planter<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you give them plenty of sunlight, even if you have to move them around during the day or week depending on where the sun is shining strongest in your home (or outside)<\/li>\n<li>. Make sure they aren&#8217;t near anything that could cause burns on their leaves like heaters or fireplaces (especially if you have a window sill planter!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>WHAT SHOULD I KEEP IN MIND WHEN MAKING MY PLANTER?<\/h2>\n<p>The planter is one of the best ways to add some personality to your home. You can use any container and shape, as long as it is made of lightweight material. This is so that you can move it around easily whenever you want or need to, or even when you plan on adding soil and plants inside!<\/p>\n<p>There are many different types of containers for making flower pots, such as vases and bottles. Any type would work well for this project; however, I chose a plastic bottle because it was easy to work with (in terms of cutting) and also easy to clean up afterwards since there are no sharp edges that might catch dirt while plunging into the ground where they grow flowers!<\/p>\n<h2>Flower planters are a great way to add some personality to your home.<\/h2>\n<p>Flower planters are a great way to add some personality to your home. If you\u2019re like me, you love flowers and plants but don\u2019t have the green thumb that comes from being a farmer or gardener. You can still enjoy flowers without having to worry about them dying in your care by creating your own flower pots at home!<\/p>\n<p>It may sound complicated, but it really isn\u2019t too hard if you follow these simple steps.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>I hope that you\u2019re inspired to start your own DIY project.
