I
have a plant addiction. If I had better
lighting in my apartment, I think that every surface would be covered in
plants.
Though, with all the plants I have, none of the planters match. I searched high and low for an idea on how to make my mini garden look more cohesive.
Most of the responses I found online said I should spray paint them. Two problems there: You can't buy spray paint in Chicago and there are already plants in my planters! I don't think they'd like a coating of paint. I next thought about wrapping them in fabric. Since my planters are not simple shapes, then covering them in fabric would just lead to lots of puckering and heartache. Then I thought about using twine. It would add more rustic elements into our home too!
I bought jute twine and used strong craft glue to put it on. Unfortunately it takes a lot of time to wrap twine around a planter. This would have been much easier if the planter was empty. But the end result is great! I covered three planters like this, though one of them cracked about a month later so I had to toss it out.
