An unusual container for a plant will decorate the garden and become an interesting highlight of the interior of a house or apartment. Photos of flower pots will help you choose the right option; there is a huge range of products on sale. You can make a beautiful product yourself using available materials.
To save time, purchase a ready-made version, but nothing compares to a unique product made by yourself.
Classics of the genre
The chaos of flower pots is a sad sight, regardless of whether they stand on the windowsill or on the chest of drawers. In order for green spaces to look decorative and not burden the interior, a well-thought-out concept is needed. First, select the plants that you like best, and then build a display with interesting flower pots. However, you can plant flowers beautifully in ordinary plastic pots - the main thing is that their color matches other interior elements.

We put fun thoughts into action
Before the holidays, we present original flowerpots for friends:
- For collectors of rare species of cacti, you can implement the idea of using plastic egg trays as flower pots. We place rare species of cacti and succulents in pots in the cells, creating a composition. The mini-kindergarten can be attached to the wall using wire.
- We wrap a regular hanging pot for plants in colored foil, which will sparkle with radiance under electric lighting.
- We decorate the container with shining LEDs. We hide the battery and wires inside the flowerpot, having previously protected it from moisture.
- Flashlight. We decorate the inside of a glass vase or jar with pine cones, pine branches, dried flowers, and lace. We hide a flashlight among the decor. We place a pot with plants from top to middle, just make sure that water does not get on the composition. Periodically pour out the moisture from the pot. All you have to do is attach it to the holder, creating a spectacular night light.

When creating an unusual composition of indoor plants on the windowsill, you should not take assorted flower pots. It’s better to let them be the same in color and material, but different shapes. By the way, you need to adhere to such a plan when landscaping the entire interior, and not just the window sill.

DIY flower pots
Container plantings will emphasize the beauty of the planted potted plant; with their help, we create a miniature garden on the windowsill, and plant seasonal flower beds on the site. It’s easy to make your own container for plants using available materials.
From mirror tiles
For indoor plants, we make a container from mirror tiles, which are available in any hardware store. We take a glue gun and 5 tiles and get to work. We place one of the tiles on a flat surface with the mirror side down, put the remaining tiles on the sides, and glue them together at the joints. After the glue has dried, place the flower pot in the mirror planter.
We make compact flowerpots using a similar principle from old floppy disks. Using a glue gun, we fasten 4 floppy disks together, and secure the fifth one for the base. The result is colorful pots for succulents that geeks will love.
Braided T-shirts or cords
Old tops and T-shirts, which we tear into long strips, will come in handy. The strips should be stretched and twisted, and the side seams should be cut off. Ropes and cords are also suitable for the job. We turn the pot upside down and we will weave a flower pot according to its shape. We tie 8 strips of knitwear into a knot in the center, and start randomly tying knots on the sides. We weave a mesh to the edges of the pot, tie the ends of the strips into a knot, and fasten it to a ring to conveniently hang the plant on a hook.
A DIY pendant always looks beautiful
From a birdcage
If the cage has not been used for its intended purpose for a long time, we convert it into a spectacular flowerpot for indoor plants. First you need to wash and dry the rods, then we start painting. Choose any paint, paint the inside surface of the cage, wait for it to dry. Then we cover the outer surface in two layers.
We place 3 pots in a planter cage and decorate with moss. Climbing plants that twine around the twigs as they grow look best.
From coconut shell
If you want to get an exotic hanging pot for an orchid, we will use a coconut fruit:
- cut the fruit, pour the juice into a separate container;
- Using a grinder, cut the nut into two parts;
- you can cut it closer to the top, getting a deep container, or making a cut exactly in the middle for two identical flowerpots;
- leave to dry, remove the inner pulp with a knife;
- we make holes in the upper part to thread twine or wire for hanging;
- The container can be sealed with varnish for durability.
Coconut as a pot is a great alternative
From old things
We make flowerpots for garden plants from unnecessary things or burlap, because some species will require large containers to grow:
- We protect our hands with rubber gloves while working;
- we make a solution from cement, a little thicker than the consistency of sour cream;
- dip a piece of burlap into the solution and remove it;
- place the panel on an inverted bucket or other container of suitable size;
- wait for it to dry, remove the resulting container from the mold;
- Pour small pebbles onto the bottom and place a pot with a plant inside.
Old things can take on a new look
From plastic bottles
Plastic 3-liter or 5-liter bottles will come in handy. We will use only the bottom part of the bottles, so we cut off the neck and cap with a knife. We independently adjust the height of the container according to the pot, which we place inside. Using a hot nail, we make holes along the top edge of the bottle to thread the decorative cord through.
We decorate the container at our discretion . You can paint the product with acrylic paints, cut patterns with a blade, or wrap it with colored cords. We cut waves around the perimeter or cut strips that we wrap on the outside.
Plastic bottles - another original idea
From a gramophone record
We make original flowerpots for the garden from old gramophone records. The material can be found in any home, and the craft is original and does not require financial investment. You will need a record, a form, acrylic paints and gloves.
Let's get started:
- Place a gramophone record on an old plate and place the desired shape (pan or jar) on top;
- place the structure in a preheated oven for a couple of minutes;
- as soon as the plate begins to soften and float, pull it out of the oven;
- Using mittens, we begin to form a plate around the pan, making bends and waves;
- if the material has hardened, reheat it and continue working;
- we make holes along the diameter of the product with a screwdriver when the plate has not yet hardened;
- After cooling the container, we begin to paint its walls with acrylic paints. You can paint it yourself or using a template.
Step-by-step technology for a gramophone pot
From matter
For a hanging plant pot, leftover soft material will be useful. We make a template out of cardboard in the form of a pocket, cut out square or round parts. We attach the parts in pairs and sew them together, leaving one side free. We sew all the prepared pockets to a large canvas, hang them on the wall, and place containers with plants.
Using our imagination, we use all the old things to make original containers. If you collect all the leftover materials in the house and in the garden, an interesting idea for decorating pots with plants will definitely come to mind. You can wrap old pots with the remains of threads, lace and fabrics, and use wire or tin plates to cover flowerpots with large flowers on the site.
A little imagination and the flowerpot with fabric is ready
Magic of light
For the latest romantics and lovers of a warm lamp atmosphere, luminescent flower pots will be a godsend. Such luminous flowerpots will serve you not only for their intended purpose - they will create a magical atmosphere in the room at night, no worse than a night light.

Cement and fabric planters
It will take a little time to create a cement pot. The task is so simple that anyone can do it without prior experience in such work.
You will need to prepare in advance:
- dry cement;
- an old tablecloth, burlap or bedspread;
- the shape of a suitable container (bucket, jar);
- paint;
- mixer-type drill attachment;
- water.
It is important to make sure before starting work that the size of the selected textile fabric matches the capacity of the flowerpot. Then the tablecloth (or piece of fabric) must be placed in a bucket, mark on the wall of the container how much space it takes up.
Take out the tablecloth and fill the bucket with water to the mark. Add dry cement and mix using a “mixer”. The consistency of the cement mixture should be similar to liquid sour cream.
A cloth (tablecloth) is placed in the resulting cement mixture so that the material is properly saturated. This procedure usually takes a few minutes.
Then the tablecloth is taken out and hung on the container chosen as the shape, which is first turned upside down. The edges of the tablecloth must be straightened at your discretion, giving the folds the desired shape.
After the cement has dried, it is recommended to paint the resulting product with a special paint for concrete. This procedure will not only decorate the product, but will also give it additional strength. After the paint has dried, the pot is ready to plant flowers in it.
Family photo
What if you decorate old flower pots with family photos? For example, decorate each pot with photographs of all family members - you will get the original composition “Mom, Dad, Me - a flower family.” Choose a “green hairstyle” for everyone - and you’ll get a real floral masterpiece. In addition, with this approach, you can teach your household to care for flowers - after all, if you don’t water your hair, it will begin to fade.

Revenue calculation
You yourself determine the cost of the photo pots. For example, revenue from one product can be 250–300 rubles. It takes only 10 minutes to make one photo flower pot using this technology.
The minimum number of items sold per day in a large shopping center or flower shop is 10 pieces. On weekends and holidays – 30-50 pcs. Daily revenue per day can range from 2,500 to 10,000 rubles. The more retail outlets you open around the city, the more significant your profit will be.

Unusual flower pots
For those who are constantly at work or simply do not have enough time to care for plants, the best option for such people would be a pot with automatic watering.

But home flowers will only become stronger and grow faster with the help of such automatic watering technology.

Vessels made from building materials
Using various metal frames in the shape of a bucket or other container, you can make blanks for flowerpots from polymer gypsum or cement. The selected vessel must be surrounded with metal wire, then the resulting mesh must be removed and covered in several layers with strips of fabric soaked in the solution.
Then make a thickening by lubricating the resulting frame with plaster or cement. After drying, the surfaces need to be sanded, preparing the product for painting and decoration.
For lovers of garden sculptures, polyurethane foam may be their favorite material. From it, using various templates, you can sculpt figures that are resistant to external influences.
