A day late but here is my Urban Jungle Bloggers post for this month, with the theme Hanging Planters. At first I was a bit stumped by the theme, I didn’t really have anywhere in the house to hang a planter (the curtain rail was one option but I didn’t want to take the risk of it falling down on me!) and I’m not really one for DIY. Give me a job like changing the lightbulb or doing some wallpapering and I’m fine; I’m a dab hand with polyfilla and I once took the bathroom door off it’s hinges, held it up against the bath and sawed the bottom off when it was sticking to the floor! But little, fiddly DIY projects nah.
Thoughts did pop into my head, like yes, I’m going to weave my own hanging planter, but let’s face it that was never going to happen (although having seen Joelix’s post, there’s a use for fish-net tights I thought I would never see…). Instead I got two old glass yoghurt pots (these are possibly the smallest hanging planters ever made), and tied around some bog-standard cotton twine. A couple of nails in the wall, a bunch of daffs and the tiniest succulent and voila! They now hang quite prettily in my living room against some postcards and an old Ercol chair, which is slightly falling apart and can’t be trusted to be sat on… it does make a nice little vignette of Spring though!
