Upcycled Plastic Bowl Hanging Planter

 Hi everyone! I hope that you are doing well. I had a few microwavable noodle bowls that I washed out and put away. I took a few days to think about what I could create using these bowls. It finally came to me, and I decided I would take one of the plastic bowls, and upcycle it. We will take this plastic bowl, and create a hanging planter. I will take you through each step, and as always I will provide a video tutorial. If you're ready, create with me!

Materials

One Plastic Bowl

 I'm reusing a plastic noodle bowl

One hole puncher

Twine

You will need four sections of twine, of the same length.

River pebbles, or craft rocks

 I purchased river pebbles at my local Dollar Tree.

Medium size wood beads (optional)

Paint

I'm using Acrylic chalk paint. Color is called mineral.l

Hot glue

Faux succulents, and vines

Craft foam blocks

Paintbrush or sponge brush

Scissors

Floral snips

Begin by taking your hole puncher, and punching out four holes in your bowl. 

When punching out your holes, make sure that your holes are opposite from each other. 

Next, take your paintbrush and apply paint to your bowl. 

You will need around two coats of paint.

Take your craft foam blocks, and add them to your bowl. I used just a little hot glue on each piece and added them to the middle of my bowl.

Next, take your craft rocks and begin to add them inside your bowl. I placed my river pebbles around my foam blocks.  Be sure to leave the top surface of your foam block exposed.

Next, take your twine, and insert it into the hole in your bowl. Once you have inserted your twine tie your twine off. After you have tied your twine to your bowl, determine how long you would like your twine section to be, and cut your twine. Repeat this step for each section of twine. You will need to have a total of four sections, and they will need to be the same length. After, take your beads and string them onto your twine. I used three wood beads on each twine section.

Next, begin to add your succulents and vines. Use your floral snips to cut succulents to size, and insert your succulents into your craft foam. I used just a little hot glue to attach my vines. Once I added my succulents I placed a few more of my river pebbles on top of my foam block.

After you have added all four sections of your twine make sure that your pot is level.

Take your four sections of twine, bundle them together, and tie the top of the twine into a knot.

Your hanging planter is now complete. All that is left is to hang your beautiful creation. I love how this project turned out, and I would love to hear from all of you. Let me know if you decide to create your very own. Thank you so much for stopping by, and creating with me.
