Turn trash into flower pots: a step-by-step guide to making pots prettier than store-bought ones

Give your flower pots a beautiful home! We show you how to make your own balcony vegetable-growing pots from discarded items

The plastic bucket edition

A plastic bucket doesn't look good as a flower pot? No problem: wrap it in a woven hemp rope coat and in one second it becomes a totally unique little balcony pot. So pretty!

If the plastic pot is good-looking enough, using it directly as a colorful flower pot is also great, in a riot of colors.

The most ordinary plastic bottle: cut it in half, wrap it in fabric or colored paper you like, and thread on some colorful string, and it becomes the most beautiful and one-of-a-kind hanging flower pot.

What if you can't be bothered to DIY? Well, for friends who don't want to put in the effort: after drinking a soda, don't throw the bottle away. Take a pair of scissors, cut the bottle in half, and it's a delicate, practical flower pot.

Glass bottles

Cut a section out of a wine bottle and you can plant some succulents in it, romantic and full of charm.

You can also plant spider plants

You can also cut it in half like a plastic bottle to make a simple flower pot, which is even more attractive and durable.

Chipped, discarded glass cups can beused to grow flowers, and they look unbelievably good.

Woven bags

Wooden boxes

A wooden container vegetable-growing pot; you can feel the fresh vibe even through the screen.

Wooden flower pots have even more character; putting one on the balcony couldn't be better.

Tin cans

A bare tin can is of course not attractive, but put a coat on it and it's a different story.

The tin can itself has a bumpy, ridged texture, and after spraying it with colored paint it looks full of personality.

Friends with artistic pursuits can cover the surface of the tin can with small stones; it's incredibly elegant.
