Send

Identical flower pots create a dull picture. I would like them, like flowers, to be different and not like each other. You can buy pots of different colors and shapes. And you can sew unique clothes for each pot yourself. This workshop features just two examples of decorating with fabric. How you decorate your flower pots depends on your imagination and skills.
Materials and tools:
• the cloth;
• centimeter;
• threads, needle;
• ribbons (white, red);
• buttons (white and red);
• scissors.

1. First, take measurements from the flower pot. Using a centimeter, we determine the height of the pot, the width above and below. Based on these data, we cut off a piece of light tissue of appropriate sizes. Sew the edges to form a pipe. From above, we bend the fabric and sew it. We also fix the fabric from the bottom. For sewing such covers for pots, it is best to choose a fabric that stretches. For example, knitwear, stretch and others like that.

2. We try on a sewn detail on a flower pot. It should fit freely in a stitched pipe so that it can be removed from the pot if necessary. For example, to wash.

3. Now we decorate the pot. We prepare details for the decor. Sew the red ribbon to make a circle. Sew along the edge with a red thread and tighten, do not cut the thread, and sew a red button in the middle. The result was a magnificent flower from a ribbon.

4. We take two white plastic buttons, one red and sew on the pot cover, positioning vertically. For the white buttons we take the red thread, for the red - white.

5. Next to the buttons we sew the red flower made. Sew only the middle of the flower. Non-sewn edges will create even more volume. Clothing for one flower pot is ready!

6. Next, we proceed to decorate the second pot. To do this, choose a dark fabric, you can plain. For the same pattern as for the first pot, cut out the pattern and stitch it carefully. Trying on the flowerpot again. Check that it can be removed.

7. We proceed to decorate this "clothes" for the flower pot. We take a white ribbon and a bow tie from it. To do this, fold the tape in half and sew in the middle, pull the thread. In place of the seam, put a piece of tape and sew on the wrong side.

8. We sew the white “butterfly” at the top of the cover for the pot. We sew only the middle of the tie, it is not necessary at the edges.

9. Slightly below the "butterfly" we sew a couple of buttons, placing one under one. The first button is positioned so that the seam is turned vertically, and the second is rotated for a horizontal seam. The result is such a gentleman flower pot.

Such clothes for flower pots will decorate any home. You can easily replace parts on it. If you are already tired of a red flower, you can instead sew another one in color or shape. And you can decorate the pot, for example, with animal figures. Or sew buttons in the shape of animals. According to your desire, you can decorate flower pots in different ways.
