There is always a lot of unnecessary things going on every time you clean the house or in the suburban areain the garbage. However, it is not necessary to leave so quickly the old things: many of them will be an excellent material for creating various kinds of handicrafts, including flower pots and pots, decor for them. A little imagination - and practical application there is even for the most unnecessary thing. And this article will tell you how to make flowerpots for flowers with your own hands easily and simply.

Plastic bottles are not just garbage!

Perhaps the simplest material that every home owner has in abundance is an ordinary plastic bottle. However, from it you can make an interesting pot.

The simplest option is to cut off the top part with the neck, and in the resulting container to plant the flower. And you can make the container more original: from plastic bottles stacked on one side, we cut out the top part, after that it can be painted in any color, add decorative elements. For example, there can be such interesting mumps.

Wooden flowerpots

If you are thinking how to decorate your house or plot with a flower pot, and at the same time you have a few completely unnecessary boards left after repair, they will become the material that you can use.

To do this, you need to cut the boards into pieces for the skirting boards, which can consist of either one board or several wooden boards, and for the bottom. After that, using screws and screwdrivers, we collect the construction, not forgetting to grease the joints with glue for wood for a stronger connection and better retention of moisture.

In a finished box of wood, you can plant almost any plant.

Pipes - plastic and metal

Conventional pipes - corrugated or not, metal, plastic - will become the material from which you can make street vases. To do this, simply cut the upper part, and the resulting container planted flowers. In addition, such flower gardens can be interesting to arrange on the site, laying out in various forms. Especially if the pipes are metal - working as a Bulgarian and, possibly, a welding machine, you can achieve an amazing result, creating a real work of art.

The second life of old utensils

The next option, from which you can make pots, is the old leaky dishes: overmolded cups and mugs, jugs, enameled utensils that let flow, can get a second life in the form of a flower pot. Clay products will be part of any composition, up to a vertical garden bed, and from old grandmother's teapots will turn out suspended pots.

Plastic containers

Beautiful and very stylish containers for flowers can be made with the help of various plastic cups, yoghurt containers, ice cream. To do this, you will need:

• dry cement or sand-cement mixture;
• plastic containers of different sizes;
• drill;
• man.

First we mix cement.

Choose a larger container and apply wet cement.

Next, insert inside a small glass, remove the excess.

We turn upside down like in the photo, we wait until the mixture hardens. First remove the outer pot. ..

. .. and then the inner one.

Practically ready, it remains only to drill holes in the bottom to drain water and sand the edges.

These are decorative pots.

Pots of shoes

Even from old unnecessary shoes, which became impossible to wear even in the country, you can make original flower pots. For example, old shoes or shoes with cute flowers: if they are put near the entrance to the house, they will certainly call the guests smile, and a tall boot with a herbaceous plant will look like a lawn on the lawn.
