Need to buy a flowerpot for your house or apartment?
Here is a great idea to have cheap flower pots, both for the outside and for the inside.
Instead of buying plastic pots or terracotta flower pots and planters, the trick is to collect burlap coffee or sugar bags.
It costs almost nothing and it's ideal for giving a slightly vintage style, completely in tune with the times, to your balcony.
1. Dump some soil into a heavy trash bag. The objective is to have a first waterproof container.
2. Poke a hole in the bottom of the bag anyway so that the water can drain out.
3. Insert the full garbage bag into the burlap bag.
4. Staple them together.
5. Roll up the canvas bag over the plastic bag so that the latter cannot be seen and the finish is nice.
And voila, you've turned the burlap into a waterproof flowerpot :-)
Of course, you will have to put the bag on a cup so as not to get water everywhere after each watering.
You can put aromatic plants if the bag is small. In a bigger bag, you can plant whatever you want, a shrub or flowers.
For a zen atmosphere, the little trick of the moment is to fill a container or a burlap bag with pebbles found on the beach...
You can find them everywhere, even online. For example, you can find it here for just over €3.99 per roll.
And if you want bigger bags, you can find them here.
Decorating does not always have to rhyme with spending. With this decorative tip, create a cozy and zen atmosphere on your balcony or terrace for less than €15.
