There are various creative ways to adorn your home with plants, such as making succulent terrariums, hanging plant baskets from your ceiling, or designing a living accent wall. However, these can often be a bit complex. If you’re passionate about caring for and displaying your plants but prefer a simpler DIY project, this easy and quick plant decor idea might be perfect for you. Visit IKEA and purchase a small rug in your favorite pattern or color — we’ve included some suggestions below. Remove any tags, then fold the rug in an origami style into a bucket shape. Secure the folds with glue and place your plant inside. That’s all there is to it!
At IKEA, you can find the unbleached SORTSÖ Rug for just $4.99. (There’s also a light blue option if you like.) You’ll need some strong fabric glue. FITTDYHE Washable Clear Fabric Glue is a bestseller on Amazon for nearly $9 a tube. Alternatively, Aleene’s Fabric Fusion Permanent Fabric Adhesive is a popular choice, priced at just over $6 a tube, and is known for its durability. A hot glue gun and glue sticks can work as well. Depending on how large and tall you want your plant cover, a pair of fabric scissors might be useful. If you plan to attach the cover to the plant pot, consider getting Piutouyar 0.67 Inch Flat Head Bronze Upholstery Tacks, which cost about $8 for 100 pieces.
