Decorating a flower pot with felt inserts. Decorative pots with flowers from felt
Photo after:
Well, now the story of reincarnation itself. I really wanted to use felt or felt decorations in the decor of the pot. But I understood that this was not entirely practical (felt can be accidentally soiled while watering or spraying the plant, it can also lose appearance due to moisture). How to be? I did not want to give up the idea with felt. I began to think and decided to make felt inserts-decor with a zipper. Thus, they can be removed when watering or spraying and save the felt from damage. Frankly, I was greatly fascinated by the idea of a sort of "clothing" for the potty. Sounds weird, but why not give it a try?
I bought 6 zippers in three colors (the main thing is that they are double-sided!), I measured the diameter of the pot, marked with a marker where the felt inserts would be, and where the main decor would be. I cut the zippers to the right size, sewed up the cut (so that the dog does not jump off) and glued one part of the zippers to the pot (the second will be sewn onto the felt). I used titanium glue. A day later, after the glue "grabbed", the husband "welded" the most stress-prone gluing points (he heated a metal tool on fire and burned a lightning bolt with it, soldering it into plastic).
I was working on two projects at the same time and preparing felt decorations for a house on the wall in the baby's room and for decorating a potty, so the photos are used in two headings. I gladly sewed flowers and leaves from felt, embroidered them with beads and floss.
I cut out inserts of the right size from felt, sewed the second part of the zippers to them and glued the flowers with leaves.
Using the "patchwork gluing" technique, I sewed 3 identical Tilda hearts.
Now it was necessary to decorate the plastic, and especially the places where the zippers were glued together. I used a proven method - I degreased the pot, smeared the surface with PVA glue and sprinkled it with semolina. After the first layer dried, I applied the second. When the semolina was completely dry, I diluted the light green paint in the palette and covered the entire surface with semolina with it. I carefully varnished the pot and fastened the decorative inserts into place.
I glued twine around the circumference of the pot, after sewing buttons into the marked places. Felt hearts-Tildes are hung on the buttons, which make the pot even more elegant and original.

(Pot with decor - heart)
(or without hearts)
The money tree has found new apartment, and I hope that in such an elegant and positive pot he will grow freely and well. I am very pleased to look at an unusual pot, not only because of its bright colors, but also because I was able to overcome a lot of difficulties when creating it, trying to combine the incompatible. This is one of my most unusual projects from an engineering point of view.
Time will tell how practical my decision to create removable decorative elements will be, but for now I look at it and smile, I like it!
In spring, our window sills are especially beautiful: mothers and grandmothers plant seedlings, cacti bloom, violets bloom, ficuses become more magnificent. To brighten up the vegetable gardens, let's decorate our houseplants. For decoration flower pots with our own hands we choose bright felt with a thickness of 1-1.5 mm, hard or medium-hard.
Tools and materials:
- scissors;
- felt 3-4 colors;
- thread for embroidery, a needle;
- sticks 20–30 cm;
- decor: small decorations: flowers, insects; buttons; beads.
Stages of work:
Jewelry on a skewer
Let's dilute the green foliage ladybugs, hearts and even felt flowers, which can be "planted" in a pot, with non-flowering plants.
The ladybug consists of 2 parts: the first is black, similar to the silhouette of a nesting doll, the second is a red even circle. We divide the templates on paper, transfer them to felt and cut them out.
In the red circle we cut out a triangle - these are the wings of a ladybug.
We sew both parts or connect them with glue. We glue the eyes, sew on black antennae and black dots.
Fasten on a skewer: glue or sew ladybug to the skewer.
Flower pot decoration
Perennial flowers, for example, ficuses are transplanted 1 time in 3-5 years. So they “live” in the same flowerpot for several years. Let's update their "home".
To do this, measure the height and circumference of the pot. We cut out a rectangle from felt with sides height X circumference + 1 cm. Sew lace on top of the rectangle, glue multilayer felt flowers, artificial flowers, buttons or beads.
We fasten the decorated canvas in height with a stapler or sew it with floss threads. We put on a potty. We admire!
There is a simpler way, it is suitable for narrow flowerpots. Instead of a rectangular base, a sock shaft is used, which stretches well. Check if the sock will fit snugly on the flowerpot and whether it fits into the interior. If yes, then it remains only to supplement it with voluminous decor.
In this article we will talk about how to make original pots for home and office with your own hands.
Often, a house or office is decorated with plants - they delight the eye and purify the air. In addition, representatives of the flora can be successfully included in the interior, creating your own special style. And various interesting pots will help in this.
