GIFT POTS

I present to your attention the step-by-step process of making the "Gift Planter".
It is impossible to imagine life without houseplants! They surround us at home, at work and in many other institutions. They delight the eye with green leaves, bright colors - and just revive everything around, giving a pleasant aroma! We all admire them, but it’s doubly nice to look at a flower if it grows in a beautiful flower pot! And if you put it in a pot? Yes, something unusual! Yes, so that no one had it! We decide the question - you can make a cache-pot with your own hands, following the step-by-step manufacturing technique indicated below!
For work, you need to prepare the necessary equipment. We will need an empty plastic flower bowl, preferably a plain one, of a dark color (if not at home, you should buy it in a store), PVA glue, a small container (for example, a lid for baby food or something else in order to pour glue) . Also a simple pencil, cutting board or wooden stand (for cutting sections from twigs), fresh sections of twigs (American maple), a stationery knife, a needle (with a thread - for safety reasons).

Note: it is better to take soft, but not crumbling tree species for making cuts. In our case, we took one kind of tree (if desired, you can use other trees or shrubs, for example, willow, lilac, aspen). Also, for decorating, the bowl can be taken made of another material.
The step-by-step process of making a "Gift planter":
Step 1. Take the tree branches and on a wooden board with a clerical knife prepare 2 types of slices - round (from thinner branches) and oblong (oval) - from thicker branches. Slice oblong slices at an angle, cut round at a right angle with respect to the twig. Slices of each type should be proportional to each other.

Step 2. Take a bowl and draw a contour with a simple pencil. On one side of the bowl we draw a snowflake and on the other. On the top border of the bowl we draw an ornament in the form of triangles.

The drawing can be anything - it depends on your imagination!
Step 3. Pour glue into the cap. Using a needle, prick a round cut with its base, then lower it into glue and place on the contour. By this principle, we spread the whole picture (on one side we get a snowflake).

On the other hand, the snowflake will turn out to be slightly different, since we will use already oval sections.

Step 4. Then we lay out the ornament with oval sections along the top border of the bowl.

Step 5. After the cache-pot dries out a little, it is necessary to wipe the remaining glue with a cotton ball slightly moistened in water (so as not to disturb the outline of the picture).
Step 6. We got a "gift planter" - now you can put a flower in it. The cache-pot can be changed sides, as snowflakes on both sides turned out different.
