Step-by-Step Directions
With a few supplies and these how-to instructions, you can create your own felt and fabric wrap. Finish your DIY planter with your favorite houseplant or succulent.
Step 1: Prepare Template and Fabric
Download the free template and scale to fit any size pot. Print it directly onto the cardstock. Cut out the template using scissors and use a hole punch ($6, Joann) to punch the marked holes. Over a covered workspace, spray adhesive onto the felt piece and evenly apply the fabric piece. Press smooth to remove any creases or bubbles. Let sit and dry completely.
Step 2: Cut and Assemble
Trace the template onto the felt side with a marker. Be sure to mark the punch holes on the felt. Cut out the shape with scissors. Use a hole punch to punch the marked holes. Fold the corners toward the center, with the fabric side facing out. Attach each corner with a brad ($2 for 50, Hobby Lobby). Once assembled, place a plastic plant saucer ($1, The Home Depot) in the bottom to protect the fabric. Fill your finished fabric vase with your favorite houseplant, fresh herb, or succulent.
