Instructions in 7 steps Two planters are obtained from a single papier-mâché box. The flexible corn leaves rope is wound around the box. And its lid gives rise to one more planter by passing the corn leaves rope through the stem wires.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Hot-melt glue, wire cutters, round needle-nose pliers, scissors

And this is how it works:

Step 1 - Braided planter

Cut a total of 17 threads 10 cm long from the stem wires.

Pass the corn leaves rope through the stem wires until a height of 6 cm is reached.

Step 4 - Braided planter

Using the round needle-nose pliers, bend each stem wire into a curve to secure them in place and create a fine finish.
