Outdoor flowerpots are popular in suburban design. These plant accessories can be made by yourself and at no cost. The resulting containers will become a masterpiece and make your summer cottage irresistible. It is important to be able not only to create attractive models, but also to position them correctly
Dimensions and shapes of street flowerpots
A flowerpot is a decorative bowl for growing flowers. It can have any shape, perform the function of a flower bed, create a place for plant compositions. Vases are classified by type: stationary classic, hanging, portable.
The originality of forms, colors and sizes are not limited and depend on the imagination of the master and the achievement of the intended goals. Any material is used: wood, concrete, plastic, glass, iron, ceramics.
What color should the flowerpot be?
The optimal color scheme is considered to be pastel shades. Cream, beige, pale pink, gray are considered the best for decoration. They are in harmony with flower arrangements and nobly complement them. Designers use mainly gray, brown, white and terracotta.
It is not recommended to make flowerpots too bright. Their purpose is to frame the growing plants, and not to distract attention from the natural beauty of the flowers planted in them. The principle applies here: the accessory should not overwhelm the beauty of the plant. Monotony is welcomed, which will always fit favorably into any style of the site.
How to arrange the flowerpot?
When purchasing finished products or making them yourself, it is important to maintain the correct proportions when positioned. For example, if you want to decorate your lawn, you need to choose a large model. Also, in a small area, it is unacceptable to install a volumetric version. To avoid disharmony in placement, you need to maintain a similar balance.
Small flowerpots made of kitchen utensils are conveniently located on stands in the form of a chair, trolley, bedside table. Such a foundation helps to visually enlarge and highlight your masterpiece. If you used a piece of the trunk, then it is better to mount it on the legs / supports, or simply lay it on the ground in the right place.
A popular installation method is grouping multiple containers. As a result of a competent layout, colorful compositions are obtained.
We make flowerpots from scrap materials
You can use everything that is available on the farm. Most often, these are kitchen utensils, which are always difficult to part with. Old bowls, pots, teapots, ladles, jugs are used. Garden tools are used: carts / wheelbarrows, buckets, barrels. Wicker boxes, baskets (vine, metal wire) look creative. Also, vinyl records can be adapted for the fit, which heats up and gives the desired shape.
Often, an old bucket or a small barrel (10-20 liters) is decorated with wooden cuts, pebbles, shells, pebbles, and bottles. Vases, lined with broken tiles, shards of ceramics, fragments of faience and colored glass, look interesting. Clay stucco molding, papier-mache, liquid wallpaper are used. Usually, all small elements of decoration are fixed with tile glue, stones with cement mortar.
Boxes, cans, car tires, boots, boots, baby baths and toys are used under containers for flowers. If wood is used, then impregnation, antiseptic, drying oil, varnish are needed to extend the functionality. Finished products can be painted in different colors, ornamental / pattern elements can be applied.
Pot of stump and sawed trees
Sawed wood is a valuable material for making crafts. Moreover, the larger it is, the more interesting it is to work with it. From the stump, amazing flowerpots are obtained. To plant flowers, you only need to create a recess on the upper saw cut.
You can work with an ax, but a drill and a chisel greatly facilitate the process. Numerous holes are drilled on the surface with a thick drill, with a frequency of 3-5 cm. Then the wood is extracted with a chisel. The depth is chosen arbitrarily, based on the goals set.
The outer walls must be thick enough to withstand the soil and not crack from moisture. If rotten material is involved, then it is advisable to leave the walls more massive, since loose wood will quickly begin to rot and collapse. A horizontally laid tree is processed in the same way.
Street pot made of tires
Original, fast, durable - this is a flowerpot made of a tire. For work you will need chalk (marker), a knife. Cuts are made along the soft part, with a depression of 5-10 cm, they will decorate your flower container. To facilitate the process, you can use a jigsaw.
The resulting elements need to be bent and turned inside out, efforts are made from the center. Then the resulting pieces can be rounded or shaped into a triangle. The finished look is obtained after painting in the selected color.
When placing such a bowl on the ground, it is recommended to exclude the germination of weeds. A thick film, plastic or agrotextile is placed on the bottom. Only after that is the soil poured.
