Keep Your Terracotta Pots To Make A Boho Hanging Planter For Indoor Faux Plants

You're decluttering your storage closet and pull out a few terracotta pots in that classic, earthy shade of orange. If they don't seem worse for wear and you no longer want to use them in the garden or for houseplants, you can recycle them into home decor instead of tossing them. For example, you can turn old terracotta pots into a creative way to light up your patio. Building on their original use, you can also wrap the terracotta pots in thick natural rope and fill them with artificial flowers and foliage to create a bohemian-style planter to hang on your wall. The decor will fit perfectly with your free-spirited aesthetic. In a tutorial, TikTok creator hira_interior showcased this whimsical wall art, which adds a charming natural element to her space.

Ideally, you will have two or more small to medium terracotta pots, preferably the same size and style. They should be stout with a wide mouth. You could technically make this DIY work with taller pots, but shallow pots similar to these 3½-inch Yishang Shallow Terracotta Pots are ideal. Using pots that are very large or too tall will make this planter difficult to hang. You'll also need some natural rope, like PerkDecor Jute Rope, to connect and hang the pots. Make sure you have some floral foam blocks to hold the blooms and greenery in place. Keep in mind your boho aesthetic when choosing the plants to feature in this hanging planter. Avoid using very cheap artificial plants, a mistake everyone makes when buying fake plants. Opt for romantic roses with muted, dusty hues, or choose succulents and cacti for a Western boho vibe.

First, measure out a long length of jute rope. Wrap the rope securely around the lip of the first pot, then tie a knot before twisting the two strands together for about 5 inches. Once you've created some space between the two pots, tie another knot to keep the twist in place, then wrap the rope around the lip of the second pot. Tie a final knot in the two strands of rope, then make it look nice and rustic by fraying the end. To create a loop for displaying your gorgeous new planter on your wall, tuck one end of a short length of rope under the rope wrapped around the rim of the top terracotta pot, on the side opposite the frayed end. Twist the rope, then make a loop, securing it with some twine.

With your bohemian-style pots ready to hang, it's time for the fun part: decorate them with plants! Cut the pieces of floral foam so they fit snugly inside the pots. Then you just need to poke the stems of your flowers and foliage into the foam. Aim to create a big, full arrangement that creates the illusion of a garden spilling out from your wall. If you don't like the look of artificial plants, you can create unkillable plants for your home with this cute DIY: thread colorful beads onto bendable wire to make trailing succulents. Vary the style to suit your specific boho aesthetic, like swapping macrame or sisal for the jute rope or painting the pots with nature-inspired designs in jewel tones. Although hira_interior uses just two pots for her crafty hanger, you could also use a longer length of rope and add a third or even fourth pot.
