DIY Mid Century Modern Planter
DIY Mid Century Modern Planter — So excited to share this inexpensive tutorial for making a DIY mid century modern planter. These little guys will brighten up any room.
I’m always on the lookout for cool planters, especially as we head into winter. I, Erin like to stock up on them to help combat the dreary winter blues.
The inspiration for this DIY Mid Century Modern Planter came from this Scandinavian home, which has a cool, sculptural vessel tucked quietly into the corner of the living room.
Its minimalist, mid century goodness is what caught my eye. I knew it’d be the perfect home for my (currently homeless) mini palm plant.
Any guesses what it’s made from? Hint: it just might be as simple as two stacked bowls. It definitely adds big style to any space though, right?!
Materials And Tools Needed To Make A DIY Mid Century Modern Planter
Small Bowl
Dampened cloth
Industrial strength glue — Like Gorilla Glue
Small Rocks — If your plant requires draining
Plant + extra potting soil if needed
How To Make A DIY Mid Century Modern Planter
Use a cloth dampened (with water) to wet the inside rim on the underside of the larger bowl. Adhesives like Gorilla Glue bond better when the surface has been dampened.
Then, apply a generous ring of adhesive to the rim of the larger bowl.
Place the smaller bowl right-side-up on top of the larger bowl so that the bottoms of both bowls make contact.
Allow to dry for a few hours.
If your plant requires drainage, you’ll want to add a few small rocks to the bottom of the vessel before planting your plant.
Last but not least, transfer your plant!
Pretty easy, right?! I’m super excited about coming up with this inexpensive alternative. If you give this project a try, make sure to share a photo on Instagram and tag #sugarandcloth so we can cheer on your success!
