Wooden pots for flowers. Unique pots and flowerpots for the garden with their own hands. Master class: hanging wooden planter

Potted and ampelous plants are now at the peak of popularity in landscape design. Vases, pots, hanging planters with armfuls of bright flowers adorn terraces, balconies, patios, paved paths. Do you want to decorate your site in the same way, but all the flowers are already planted in primitive plastic pots? Buying new, expensive flowerpots is not necessary. There is an alternative: you can make original pots for the garden with your own hands, and then install old plant pots there. And the garden composition will change!

Let's take a look at a few simple ideas for making your own flower pots.

A simple planter can be made from small mirror tiles that are sold in hardware stores. For one product you will need 5 tiles and a glue gun.

Mirror tiles are used for wall cladding, but can also be used to make planters.

The first tile is laid on a flat surface (table) with the mirror side down - it will be the base of the planter. The remaining 4 tiles are applied perpendicularly to its sides and the joints are fastened with glue. After the glue has dried, a pot with a plant is placed in the pot.

The mirror planter does not need additional decorations. It looks stylish in itself, and, thanks to the ability to reflect the surrounding objects, it is not boring at all.

Mirror planters look stylish and expensive in any interior.

Option # 2 - wooden flower pots from a bar

This idea will surely appeal to home carpenters who know how to handle timber.

For the original hanging planter, you will need 24 bars 15-20 cm long. Laying them in a checkerboard pattern, they form a square box with through holes. Connect the bars with nails or screws. Ropes are tied to the bars, at the corners of the upper edge of the planter and a homemade planter is hung on any tree in the garden.

A wooden planter, similar to a hanging swing, will “hold” an entire flower bed with pansies (violas) on itself

Option # 3 - coconut planters

Exotic planters can be made from coconut shells. Blooming orchids will look especially harmonious in them.

First, cut the coconut. At one end of the nut, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthree dark "eyes", holes are made with a knife. Juice is drained. Bulgarian cut the nut across. You can do this in the middle of the nut - then the output will be two planters. Or closer to the end, so that a deep pot is formed, which looks like a pot-bellied vase.

After the coconut dries, cut off all the inner flesh with a knife. Closer to the upper edge of the planter with a drill, make 3 holes for hanging. Ropes, wire, chains or special metal suspensions are threaded through the holes.

Coconut planters can be left as is or varnished for durability

Option # 4 - burlap pots (tarpaulin, felt)

A heavy fabric, such as burlap, is great for making rustic planters. All that is needed for this is to cut two blanks from the fabric in the form of a semicircle or square, sew them like a pocket and hang them on the fence. For hanging, you can use a fabric strip sewn to the upper edge of the planter or a wire threaded into the fabric.

Unpretentious garden annuals are planted in a flower pot made of felt: petunias, calibrachoa, lobelia, etc.

Option # 5 - vinyl planter from a record

Vinyl planters were very popular during the era of Soviet scarcity. Then they forgot about them - and in vain! It is impossible to find such unusual pots with curved edges on sale. Therefore, after spending literally half an hour, you will find a truly original little thing.

Planter made of phonograph record, decorated with acrylic paintings

Necessary materials:

• gramophone record;
• jar, pan - for molding;
• acrylic paints;
• thick household gloves - to prevent burns.

Stages of making a vinyl planter:

1. The plate is placed on a plate.
2. On top of the plate, a jar or pan of the same shape and diameter as the future planter is installed.
3. Put the whole structure with the plate in a preheated oven for 1-2 minutes.
4. The plate will begin to soften and melt very soon. As soon as this process becomes noticeable, the plate is taken out and manually (not forgetting to put on gloves!) They begin to form the edges of the pots around the jar installed in the center. If the workpiece begins to harden quickly, then it is again placed in the oven, softened and continue molding.
5. While the plate is still soft, 3 holes are made in the walls of the pots with a screwdriver - to install the suspension. The most beautiful in this quality look special suspensions made of thin metal chains.
6. The finished chilled planter is painted with acrylic paints on the outside and, if desired, inside. When painting, you can act on your own or use special templates for painting.

Option # 6 - pots of sticks or branches

This planter of the most natural look will harmoniously fit into the garden interior.

Cache-pot from branches - a spectacular design of any plastic pot

Materials used:

• branches or sticks;
• tight rope;
• sackcloth;
• glue;
• finished plastic pot.

Planter manufacturing technology:

1. Smooth sticks, twigs, bamboo stems are cut into pieces of the same length - about 20 cm. The number of branches used depends on the diameter of the planned planter.

2. Top and bottom branches are tied together to obtain a single canvas. They do it this way: they tie a knot on the first branch, lay the next branch - again a knot. This continues until all the branches are connected together.

When creating a wooden canvas, two knots are tied on each branch

3. A strip of burlap is wound onto a used plastic pot and fixed with a glue gun.

4. A wooden sheet of branches is wrapped around a pot with a plant, the ends of the ropes are tied along the edges of the sheet.

On a wooden planter, as a decor, you can tie two bow knots made of thick twine

Option # 7 - tin pots from a can

Spectacular hanging planters for the garden can be made from completely junk material - old tin cans, for example, from canned food or drinks.

A metal planter from a tin can can be used as a garden vase for cut flowers.

To make one of these pots you will need:

• can;
• tight rope - 10 m;
• white primer paint;
• acrylic colored paints.

Operating procedure:

1. Remove the label from the jar, peel off the glue.

2. Apply white primer paint to the surface of the can. It will cover the metallic color of the tin and will serve as protection against corrosion.

The jar is painted with a white primer

3. Cover the jar with several layers of colored paint, achieving a rich color. Each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one has completely dried.

Apply a layer of bright yellow paint

4. Perform a decorative pattern - first apply its contours with a marker. You can draw by hand or use paper stencils.

The stencil simplifies the execution of the planned pattern

5. The drawing is painted over with a bright color, preferably contrasting with the background. The contours can be additionally marked with a marker.

6. After the cache-pot is completely dry (1-2 days), a transparent varnish is applied to its surface.

7. The final touch is the manufacture of a rope suspension. To do this, the rope is cut into 10 segments of 1 m each. The entire heap of ropes at a distance of 15 cm from the edge is tied with one knot. This knot will be under the center of the bottom of the pot.

After that, nearby ropes are tied in pairs so that the knots fall on the border of the bottom. In other words, if the diameter of the bottom of the jar is 16 cm, then the knots are tied at a distance of 8 cm from its center. At the height of the middle of the pot, the adjacent ropes are again tied in pairs, and then again - along the upper edge of the pot.

From above, all the ropes are tied into one large knot - the mesh suspension is ready. A tin planter is placed in it and beauty is hung in the “hade made” style on a tree branch, a nail nailed to the wall, etc.

Option # 8 - a swan planter from a bottle and putty

A floor decorative planter for the garden, which is not inferior in beauty to expensive ceramic products, can be made in a couple of days from available materials.

Swans from putty - spectacular garden flower pots

For work it is necessary to prepare:

• plastic bottle - 5 l;
• small pieces of reinforcing mesh;
• metal rod;
• putty starting (gypsum);
• water;
• bandage;
• oil paint;
• sand.

Step by step manufacturing instructions:

1. Cut off one side of a plastic bottle, twist the neck with a cap.

2. The bottle is placed on a flat surface, filled with wet sand. They try to compact more sand in order to expand the internal capacity of the bottle.

Sand is poured into the inside of the bottle to fix the convex shape of the planter

3. Bend the rod in the shape of a deuce (swan neck) and fix it in the cork.

The neck of the swan is made of a thick metal rod.

4. The putty is closed in water, a layer of a thick solution is laid out on a work surface (previously covered with a film). A bottle of sand is placed on the solution, the excess putty is pulled up with a spatula.

5. Form the beginning of the neck. To do this, a layer of putty is applied to the neck of the bottle and the beginning of the rod.

The beginning of the neck is formed with putty, smoothing the lines with a wet brush

6. A layer of solution is also laid on the walls of the bottle with a spatula, the surface is leveled with a wet brush.

Putty is applied over the entire outer surface of the bottle, applying a layer of up to 2 cm

7. For the wings, two grids 15x30 cm in size are used. They are slightly bent and fixed on the sides of the cache-pot with putty.

To fix the grid, instead of putty, it is better to use gypsum - it will harden much faster, literally in 5-10 minutes

8. After the nets are glued, with wet hands apply a "plumage" of putty.

The plumage is formed with short strokes on the putty surface

9. With wet hands, spread the solution around the rod, forming a neck.

10. In the course of work, the rod is wrapped with a wet bandage.

The bandage serves to additionally fix and fix the putty on the rod

11. A tail is made from a small mesh, also covering it with putty.

To fix the tail, it is also better to use a small amount of gypsum.

12. Eliminate all the shortcomings: add putty where necessary, level the surfaces with a wet brush.

13. After the putty has dried (2-3 days), the surface is cleaned with sandpaper.

14. Apply a layer of primer on the pots for painting.

15. They cover the swan with white enamel, decorate the beak and eyes with bright colors.

The final decorative appearance of the cache-pot acquires after coating the putty surfaces with enamel

Option # 9 - using the decoupage technique

Any clay, plastic or metal pots can be changed beyond recognition by applying the decoupage technique on it. This technique involves decorating household items with applications made of thin paper, most often from napkins. After varnishing, the texture of the appliqué visually merges with the surface of the product, becoming not like paper shreds, but like a beautiful hand-painted.

Decoupage technique allows an old pot to find a new life

To make a planter using decoupage technique, you must have:

• flower pots - plastic, ceramic, metal;
• patterned napkins;
• PVA glue;
• clear nail polish;
• acrylic paints;
• brushes or foam rubber sponges.

Decorating process:

1. On a napkin, they find the fragment they like and carefully open it. It is necessary that the edges are as uneven as possible - then they will be invisible on the finished product.

Fragments of napkins must be torn off carefully so as not to damage the pattern.

2. The topmost, thinnest layer is separated from the cut out fragment.

3. Dilute PVA glue in water in a ratio of 1:2.

4. A fragment is placed on the surface of the cache-pot and an adhesive solution is applied on top with a brush. Carefully spread the fragment with your hands or a sponge and press it to the surface.

Instead of PVA glue for gluing fragments, you can use special decoupage glue

5. All other fragments are glued in a similar way to create a common composition.

Floral motifs are the most popular when decorating planters using decoupage technique.

6. After the glue dries, you can add drawing elements to the composition. For example, paint an ornate pattern with paints, sign the “work” with your name, or add a bright border to the planter.

7. At the end of the work, when the paint and glue are completely dry, the surface of the pots is varnished in 2-3 layers.

The website "Dekorol" reminds its readers that you can subscribe to receive news from us, for this you just need to fill out the appropriate form in the sidebar.

Often, home plants are placed on the windowsill - closer to natural light. If the window sill is very narrow and there is not enough space to accommodate house plants in flower pots, you can grow flowers together on hanging fixtures. In this case, the way out can be hanging basket or pots . A cache-pot is a hanging container in which a single pot with a flower or green plant is placed. A more interesting option is a hanging basket in which several plants are planted at the same time, forming a flower arrangement.

There are a number of difficulties that can complicate the process of this method of growing plants. But thanks to our advice, you can choose the right place, arrange the composition correctly and properly care for flowers in hanging containers:

• Tip 1: It must be remembered that warm and dry air rises, so plants in a suspended structure will require more frequent watering.
• Tip 2: If you overfill the water, it may drip right onto the floor. This threatens to bulge the wooden floor, so the best place for hanging baskets is the kitchen or balcony, where the floors are usually tiled.
• Tip 3: For baskets located indoors, polyethylene is sometimes placed inside the container so that water does not drip, but this creates a threat to flood the plants. The best solution is to place several plant pots in a waterproof container. The container itself can be hung on a wire, rope or twine from the ceiling. The principle of such placement is similar to the flower girl, which is described in the article about the home mini-garden.
• Tip 4: The gaps between the pots and the walls of the container are filled with wet peat. Peat is lighter than, for example, a mixture of peat and earth, and when hanging from the ceiling, unnecessary loads should be avoided.

• Tip 5: If you have chosen the option of planting plants in a common container, then the rules here remain unchanged: the plants must have the same watering regime, temperature regime and be equally sensitive to lighting. As for the soil, it is poured into a container on top of the drainage layer, which is also a general rule for this method of growing plants.
• Tip 6: It is better to hang the basket in such a way that it can be reached by hand, that is, at the level of your height. If for some reason this option is not possible, then use not a simple hook, but a carabiner, this design will allow you to raise and lower the container.
• Tip 7: One last tip: check if your green "pets" are getting enough light and air at the chosen height. Flowering and variegated plants should be placed closer to the light - near the window.

Indoor flowers in flowerpots are a wonderful way to decorate an apartment or house, make the room more lively and cozy.

In this article, we offer you interesting ideas on how to make beautiful hanging flower pots using a variety of materials, such as wood, leather, twine and other improvised means.

Also 5 step-by-step master classes with diagrams and photos on how to weave flower pots quickly and easily with your own hands and create a really beautiful interior decor.

Leather hanging planters are easy to manufacture, but look very original. Add some style to your home decor with this wonderful leather planter. It can definitely become exactly the highlight that makes the interior unique.

Master class: leather hanging planter

Necessary materials:

• Distilled (purified) water
• Tracing paper (21x28 cm) and 4 pieces of strong rope (or leather laces), each approximately 90-120 cm long
• Leather dye (optional) and gloves
• Leather (30x30 cm square)
• Packing tape, a simple pencil and a stationery knife
• Computer and printer (for template printing) and template
• Sponge for wetting and coloring

Step by step diagram:

Step 1: Preparation and placement

Print out the hanger plant template on tracing paper. Lay the template down on the wrong side of the leather and choose the ideal placement (not too close to the sides to avoid any imperfections in the leather).

Step 3: Soften the skin

Dip the sponge into the purified water, and then evenly apply moisture to the skin. Repeat this step at least three times until the skin looks like it can't take in more water. This will soften the skin, and facilitate our work on weaving pots.

Step 4: Template transfer

Now place the template in the place you selected earlier and tape it on the sides so as not to move to the side. With a simple pencil, direct the lines printed on the tracing paper by pressing the pencil with medium force. Be careful and don't miss any line.

Step 5. Cutting

Now peel off the template from the skin to see how the design has transferred to the surface of the skin. Using a utility knife, make cuts in place of the lines.

For convenience, you can first cut a circle along the outer contour. The cuts should be clearly drawn along the drawn lines.

Step 6. Coloring

Note: This step is optional, depending on the desired color and materials at hand. In our case, we dyed the skin dark brown.

After the skin is dry from moisturizing (at least one hour), apply the desired dye. Apply the paint with a sponge (wearing gloves) until the desired effect is achieved.

As the skin dries, pull it back a little to give it a voluminous shape. You will start to see the skin deform, keep going pulling and stretching it to create the shape of the pot as it should be when finished.

Step 8: Hang Up

• After, how the skin is completely dry, and a planter shape is formed, punch four holes in the upper part to thread the ropes through them.
• You must place them evenly, at the same distance from each other, so that the suspended flower pot does not then lean to one side.
• Take four ropes (regular or leather) and on each of them tie a knot, tightening it tightly at the end.

Step 9: Decorate and Mount

Add tassels, beads, rivets- everything that is necessary to achieve the desired style in the end. At the top of the hanging cords, gather all four of them together and tie into a knot.

You can use this knot to hook onto a ceiling hook and/or ring. See if the length of the pendant suits you, if necessary, tie the knot at a different level.

Straw hanging planter

This planter will suit the interior with innovative notes. Transform and complete your home decor with their neon cocktail straws and strings. And for this, even 15 minutes will be enough for you!

Necessary materials:

• neon threads
• neon straws (8 pieces per pot)
• flower pots for indoor plants (we used white ones made of melamine)
• house plants (succulents)
• scissors

How to weave - instructions:

Step 1: Cut the threads

Cut eight pieces of neon cord, each 90-150 cm long, depending on how close to the ceiling you want to place the pots.

Step 2: Making a Knot

Take the newly cut threads together and tie a knot at one end, resulting in a tassel from a small excess of cord at one end.

Step 3: Divide the threads into sections

Lay out the rope in four sections (similar to the shape of a cross). That is, two ropes in each section.

Step 4: Cut the Straws

1. Cut off in straws that small part that is separated by a spring. Then cut it in half. Take eight of these small pieces and stretch a thread into each of them.
2. Move the straws to the center(knot) and on every two threads (in sections) make a knot. Here's what it will look like:
3. Lay out the threads again in the shape of a cross, two threads per section. Only now, to form a section, take one thread from the previously adjacent sections.
4. Cut the straws into pieces (total need 16), each of which should be the size of a piece of straw, which is separated by a spring.
5. In each of 8 pieces of straws thread and make knots on the threads from one section.
6. Similarly, lay out 2 strands in the shape of a cross, one each from adjacent sections.

Add a third and final set of straws to the strands and tie adjacent strands (similar to the previous set).

Step 5: Hang Up

It remains only to hang the pots and insert a flowerpot with indoor flowers into it. Make a few pieces, then together they will create a beautiful composition.

And neon straws will also glow a little at night, which will look very original.

Macrame flower pot

The macrame technique has, probably, the most variations in the manufacture of planters. They can be very simple, which can be done literally in 10-15 minutes with your own hands, or complex with many hours of work. Practice weaving first on the lungs, hone your skills, and then improve.

Master class: DIY macrame weaving

Macrame is back in fashion, as is needlework in general. In this master class, you will learn how to make a hanging planter with your own hands using this technique. There is nothing complicated, just follow the instructions and you will succeed!

Necessary materials:

• 3 cords 2.5 m long and 0.5 cm thick
• Metal ring with a diameter of 2.5-3 cm
• Hook (on wall, slot) to hold macrame while working
• Scissors and colored rope
• Glass pot in the form of a ball with a diameter of 20 cm
• Drainage stones and soil
• House plants that climb (e.g. Stephanotis)
• Decorative moss (optional)

Step-by-step instruction:

Step 1: Thread the ropes into the ring

Pull all three ropes through the metal ring until the ring is in the middle of the ropes. Thus, you now have six ropes to work with, each 1.25 m long.

Step 2: Making a Knot

1. Of all tie a knot with six ropes right next to the ring. Make it as tight as possible, for this, after forming the knot, tighten each rope separately.
2. Hang the ring on a hook (if there is no hook, then tie it to a cabinet handle or anything like that with a separate small rope, the main thing is to fix it). This will allow you to use both hands while working.

Step 3: Divide the Cords into Groups

• Separate the cords into three groups, two in each. Tie a knot in each pair 45 cm below the ring. You will have three knots at the same level, make sure they are tight.
• Take one rope from two adjacent pairs and tie them together about 12 cm below the previous knot.

Repeat the previous step with the rest of the ropes so that they are all tied together. This will create a zigzag pattern between the cords.

Step 4: End Node

1. Approximately 12 -15 cm below the second set of knots, gather all six ropes together to make one big final knot. Pull each cord individually to make the knot as tight as possible.
2. See what the length you need to leave and cut the ropes to the right size.
3. Wrap the multi-colored threads around the rope in several places, creating blocks a few centimeters long. This stage is decorative and is optional. Now the macrame pendant is ready and you can place the pot in it.

Step 5: Planting Indoor Flowers

At the bottom of the glass pot, place stones for drainage to make a layer about 2.5 cm high. Fill the rest of the bowl with soil.

1. Remove the plant from the temporary pot and place in a glass jar. Pour water over and press down on the soil to compress it. You can place decorative moss on top of the soil, optional.
2. Place the glass bowl with the flower over the lowest node and spread the ropes to the sides to fix well.
3. Straighten the plant if it is tangled in the ropes. Hang and admire the beauty of the plant and your own product.

Macrame schemes for flowerpots

Here are a few more schemes for those who want to master the weaving of macrame. They are very simple - suitable even for beginners. Look at the photo and repeat. A clothesline or thin twine is perfect as a material. The minimum consumption for a hanging planter is 10 meters of rope.

Wooden planter

Master class: hanging wooden planter

This hanging planter will wonderfully complement your home interior. It is done quickly and simply, the materials also will not take a lot of money. The best solution for an apartment.

Necessary materials:

• Wooden plate and saw
• Home plants and flowerpots
• Rope and metal ring

Step-by-step manufacturing scheme:

Step 1: Making Wooden Squares

Consider how many tiers your flower stand will have ( there are 4 of them, but you can do more or less ). Choose the houseplants you want to place there.

Based on all this, cut out the required number of squares from a wooden plate.

1. To do this, turn the pot upside down and place it on a plate, circle and leave on the sides about 5 cm, thus determining the size of the square.
2. With a saw make squares.

Step 2: Making holes for the pots

1. You already have a circle drawn on the tree from the top of the pot, now you need to draw another one in the middle of it so that their centers coincide, but the diameter of the new one was about 1-2 cm smaller.
2. This value depends on how quickly the pot that you will place in the stand increases to the top, and also you want so that the wooden square is almost at the very top, or in the center of the pot.
3. You can take another pot, suitable for the size of the stencil, and circle it.

• Cut out this new circle with a jigsaw. For convenience, you can first make a hole with a drill and, starting from it, work with a jigsaw.
• The pots should now fit inside the squares.

Step 3: Hanging Holes

At the corners of the squares you need to make holes for the rope so that they can be hung. To do this, use drill with a diameter of up to 1 cm.

Step 4: Paint the Tree

Using sandpaper, remove the roughness and irregularities that have formed after sawing and drilling. Now the tree can be painted or simply treated with an antiseptic. In this case, dark brown paint was used.

Step 5: Paint the Pots

Pots can also be painted, if desired. Sloppy strokes of white paint look good on plain clay pots. This step can be skipped.

Step 6: Putting it all together

In order to fasten the wooden squares together, we need a thick rope: cut 4 ropes of 180 cm each (for a given number of tiers). Pull one rope into each corner hole of one of the squares and tie a knot at the end, this will be the lower part of the structure.

Tie one more on each rope. knot at 25-30 cm above the previous one and thread the ropes into the holes of the next square. Check that everything is even, and the second tier is clearly horizontal above the first, correct the knots if necessary. The second tier is ready. Repeat these steps for the remaining tiers.

Step 7: Plant Your Plants

A practical advantage of such a hanging stand is that water that may flow down after watering from the top plant will drip onto the lower one. So a pot stand is needed only on the lowest tier (if you use it outdoors, you can do without stands at all).

You can also put coffee filters or similar absorbent materials on the bottom of the pots so that the water can flow out, but the earth will not fall out through the hole.

TIP: To prevent the bottom pot from falling off the stand if someone accidentally catches the rope, glue it to the pot with superglue.

Step 8: Transplant the plants into prepared pots.

If you glue the base of the lower pot before inserting it into the wooden square, it will turn out like in the photo below. If you want the bottom pot to be inserted into the tree in the same way as the rest, then first transplant the plants, insert the pots into the holes in the tree, and only then glue the stand to the bottom one.

Step 9: Hang Up

1. To hang this structure, pull the ropes through the metal ring and tie a knot, or bend them over and tie them around with another thin rope.
2. Adjust the rope so that all tiers are horizontal and even.

Such a stand is good, just do not forget that the flowers need a sufficient amount of light.

A hanging stand is a wonderful solution for those who love flowers but don't have enough space to place them.

Pots made of copper tubes

The manufacturing principle is similar to that described in the previous master class, only copper tubes are used here (and they fold into a slightly different pattern). Of course, these materials will be more expensive than straws, and cutting them is not so fast, but in general there is no difficulty, and it turns out beautifully and with high quality.

TIP: If desired, copper pipes can be replaced with plastic straws for cocktails

Necessary materials:

• 2 m copper tube with a diameter of approximately 3 mm
• Mini pipe cutter
• Strong thread or fishing line
• Leather cord (length depends on how high you intend to hang the pot)
• small pot
• Plant

Step by step weaving:

Step 1: Cut the tubes

You need to cut the tube into the following pieces: 20 pieces 4 cm long and 5 pieces 24 cm long. Cut long pieces first, and then small ones, it will be more convenient. Use a measuring tape for measurements.

Step 2: Start folding the tubes

Tie a knot at one end of the fishing line, and thread the other through 5 small pieces of the tube so that you get a pentagon (that is, the line must be passed through the first piece of the tube twice).

Step 3: Continue making pentagons with small tubes

• Pass the line through 4 tubes of the same size, and then through the tube of the previously formed pentagon. Now the line is in the tube connecting the pentagons, and you need to bring it through the top tubes of the pentagon you just made to its left edge.
• Don't worry if they don't look perfect, everything will straighten out when you hang and place the pot.
• Then do it in the same way 2 more pentagons, in total there should be 4 pieces, and they should be located as in the photo below.
• Now bring the line through the tubes to the bottom of the extreme pentagon and put a tube on it. Then pass the fishing line through one edge of the other extreme pentagon.

Here's what should happen:

Pass the line through 2 more tubes, and then through the edge of the pentagon, as in the photo below. It should look something like a flower, or rather like this:

Step 4: Stringing Long Tubes

1. Lead the fishing line to one of the highest points of the structure (between the two upper tubes of one of the pentagons). Now the fishing line needs to be threaded through a long tube.
2. Pass the line through another long tube, and then direct it to the next highest point of the pentagon structure (any, not necessarily adjacent).

1. Pass the wire through 2 small tubes to get to the next high point. Now pass through another long tube, the line will come out to the junction of the long tubes, return the line back down through one of the previous two long tubes. Attach the fourth tube in the same way.
2. Now it remains for you to attach the last tube, but first place a pot in the middle of the structure, otherwise it will not fit through the honey tubes later.
3. Now attach the last tube. Here's what should happen:

Step 5: Attaching the Leather Cord

Cut about 30 cm of leather cord and attach it to the connection point of the long tubes. You can tie a knot, but here, for aesthetics, hot glue was used, fastening it to a neatly folded end of the cord. Here's what it looks like:

To hide the glued area, cut another small piece of cord, secure with hot glue, and wrap around the cord to hang from.

Trim off excess line and cord. And the last step: plant your favorite houseplants!
