Think of your plant pot as a blank canvas. With a little rope and some pom-poms, you can wrap it in color and texture, giving it a whole new personality.
Each pom-pom feels like a tiny splash of joy, scattered across the rope like confetti frozen in time.
This planter doesn’t just hold greenery, it holds energy, fun, and creativity.
Perfect for anyone who wants their home décor to feel both handmade and alive.
Materials Needed
- 1 medium or large planter (ceramic, plastic, or metal)
- 10-15 feet of thick cotton rope (3/4″-1″ diameter works well)
- 40–50 pom-poms in mixed sizes (1-4 cm, bright colors recommended)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Optional: fabric glue
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Clean and dry your planter so the glue sticks properly.
Starting at the bottom, apply hot glue in small sections and begin wrapping the rope tightly around the pot.
Step 2: Keep adding glue and winding the rope upward until you reach the top. Make sure each coil sits snugly against the last for a neat look.
Step 3: Once the planter is fully wrapped, secure the rope’s end with extra glue and press it firmly in place.
Step 4: Arrange your pom-poms on the surface to plan your color placement. You can use a mix of large and small ones to create depth and playfulness.
Step 5: Glue the pom-poms randomly onto the rope, pressing each one down firmly until secure. Then scatter them generously for a confetti-like effect.
Step 6: Let the glue fully set before placing your plant inside.
Now you have a planter that feels like it belongs in an art gallery with fun, vibrant, and handmade.
Tips:
Use earthy-toned pom-poms if you want a more boho look, or neon colors if you’re going for bold and quirky.
