STRIKE A CORD
Transform a plain planter
with ribbon and cotton
cording, right. If desired,
start by spray-painting
the planter. Using
waterproof crafts glue,
secure the end of eight
lengths of ribbons to
the bottom of the pot,
spacing evenly between
each ribbon and varying
colors and sizes as
desired. Hot-glue cotton
cording at the base of the
pot and wrap horizontally
around, alternating under
and over the ribbons and
gluing as needed. Repeat
the next row, switching
the under-over method
in a weaving pattern.
Continue in this manner,
keeping the cording tight,
and finish by gluing just
over the top edge of the
planter. Finish the inside
edge with jute ribbon.TO KEEP CORDING
AND RIBBON FROM
SLIPPING AND MOVING
WHILE YOU WEAVE,
DAB HOT GLUE ALONG
CORDING EVERY
COUPLE OF WRAPS.
