A wooden planter Wood is a must when it comes to DIY. It is an elegant and ecological solution, with a remarkable visual impact and fascinating and suggestive shades. You can decide either to leave it natural or to enhance it with special colors , which you can find on specialized sites such as dimarcolor.it.
To get started, you will need:
- wooden slats;
- nails and hammer;
- a specific glue;
- an impregnating agent.
Once the main structure has been manufactured , we suggest you treat it with the impregnating agent and cover it inside with a nylon or PVC sheet . With this trick you will avoid water infiltrations when you go to water the plants. Jars and containers for food
A quick and easy way to create your DIY vase is to use a common container for food : those used for legumes, spices or jams.
The glass will let you glimpse the soil inside, with an undoubtedly scenographic effect. Some prefer it transparent , others adorn it with ad hoc paints or with asheet of tissue paper in a beautiful light tone. The tints of the flowers will do the rest to enrich the look of the environment . A clay vase

In addition to the basic material, get a lathe or something that you can use as such, a bucket full of warm water and kitchen sponges. The clay must be soft to adhere to the lathe, and to take the shape you want most. The moistened spongesthey are ideal for smoothing the vase and for making its surface uniform.
In the end, bake everything in the oven : you will have obtained your personal clay planter. Jute bags Jute is a green and eco-sustainable option, perfect for creating beautiful pots for ornamental plants
