Let's make our home an expression of happiness. How about making someone welcome you with a cute smile every time you enter your home? Nope! I've not deputed an ever-smiling gatekeeper, but these are the beautiful planter-dolls that you may place at any corner of your house for a unique decoration with positive feel of greenery.
And if you want to make few for your dream house, here are the easy steps -
Material Required for 1 Doll:
How to go about it:
1. To make arms and legs:
2. To make the upper and lower portion of body:
3. To attach the arms and legs with central body parts:
Use silicon adhesive to stick the arms and legs at the proper position. It will be easily done since the plastic pots are light-weight than clay pots. If it doesn't work, the piece of ropes can be knotted together to tie the body parts and then be painted beautifully.
4. Finally, paint the eyes and lips on the topmost pot with some cute funny expressions using acrylic paints and stick a stripped black cloth neatly on the back side of facial painted pot to look like doll's hair.
The happy planters are ready to decorate your garden, balcony, staircase or any neglected area of home so brightly. There can be a number of variations in designs depending on your creativity, time constraints, material available and ofcourse how passionate you are ;) There is one more design here.
Did you like this home decoration DIY? Have you tried this kind of home decoration ever? If yes, I'm eager to know your creative ideas...
And if you want to make few for your dream house, here are the easy steps -
- Large Plastic Pots - 3 nos.
- Small Plastic Pots - 12 or 14 nos.
- Brush
- Acrylic Paints
- Scissors
- Piece of cloth in Black Color
- A stitched dress for doll (Optional)
- Silicon Adhesive
- A Piece of Rope
How to go about it:
1. To make arms and legs:
- Pierce a hole at the base of every pot.
- Place 3 or 4 small pots upside down one above the another.
- Take the rope through the holes pierced in all pots and attach them together putting a knot under the lowermost pot.
- It will make either an arm or leg of the doll.
- Repeat these steps 3 times more so that you have 2 arms and 2 legs ready with you. (Make sure to use the same number of pots to make both the arms as well as both legs to maintain the symmetry in the size)
2. To make the upper and lower portion of body:
- Place one of the bigger pot upside down and cover it with the sticthed piece of cloth to resemble like the dress of doll. You make completely skip using the cloth dress and paint the dress with acrylic paints.
- Now place two bigger pots over this dressed pot in such a manner that it holds the dress due to its weight. The inner pot is actually the one that will be used as real planter.
3. To attach the arms and legs with central body parts:
Use silicon adhesive to stick the arms and legs at the proper position. It will be easily done since the plastic pots are light-weight than clay pots. If it doesn't work, the piece of ropes can be knotted together to tie the body parts and then be painted beautifully.
4. Finally, paint the eyes and lips on the topmost pot with some cute funny expressions using acrylic paints and stick a stripped black cloth neatly on the back side of facial painted pot to look like doll's hair.
