Posts about: hanging planters
15/11/2015
one of my favourite DIY's this year was my clay hanging planters that I made back in may.. I'd been thinking of making some more to hang in my kitchen but I wanted to do update them a little with a faux ceramic look inspired by these beautiful cups and bowls I found on pinterest.
materials:
paintbrush and toothpick
first make your hanging planters using the clay- follow my tutorial from earlier this year here
-once they have dried sand them down well to smooth the surface.
-mask off the bottom with tape and paint the bottom half brown, remove the tape and leave to dry.
-dip a toothpick or pin into the black paint and start dabbing all over to create a speckled effect.
-leave to dry and then brush on a couple of coats of gloss medium to add a faux glazed finish.
-thread your cord through the holes and hang them!
I love using air dry clay but I guess you could try these with polymer clay too? I only tend to prefer air dry as it's much softer to work with (kinda like play doh)
don't fancy hanging them? skip adding the holes for the cord and just display them on your shelves instead!
what do you think.. would you try making some?
back soon
