When I am not busy over “here”, I am busy over “there”. As some of you may know I am the Interior and all round designer at Zana, I also contribute to their blog… Things have been amazingly busy for us, and I have never been happier with what I am doing!
For valentines day this year I did a super cute little DIY over at Zana, truth is this DIY can be a gift for someone special any time of the year or just a little something to spruce up your desk at work!
What you will need:
– A small succulent or plant. Keep it small enough for your loved one to keep on his/her desk at work.
– Off cuts of fabric. If you dont have or know where to get this you could use fabric from our scrap packs, purchase them here.
– String
– An elastic band
– A ruler
– And a pair of scissors
Step 1. Measure your pot, remember to leave an extra piece for the fold over at the top.
Step 2. Cut your fabric to size. You could also use pinking shears if you have them, this would avoid the fabric from fraying.
Step 3. Fold and flatten the fabric, we allowed for a +- 1cm fold over. This may vary depending on the size of your pot, try keep it in proportion.
Step 4. Wrap your piece of fabric around the pot. If you are doing this alone, use a piece of sticky tape or press stick to secure the fabric to the pot until you have got the elastic band around the base of the pot.
Step 5. Secure the fabric to the pot with an elastic band, the elastic band will also help keep the fabric wrapped around the pot. This is a no sew DIY so the elastic band is essential.
Step 6. Add the string for decoration. This finishes it off nicely.
Happy mid week!
