Fabric Pots

Instructions:

Start by working out what size you want your fabric pot to be. The height of the pot will determine what you need to place underneath the pot as it dries, as it needs to sit lifted off the surface upside down.

A small plastic container resting on a tall spray can works well and the plastic container will give the project a nice flat base.

Once you have your drying objects set up, dip the fabric into the PVA glue along with a small amount of water. Fully coat the fabric in the glue and then wring out any access glue from the fabric. You may want to wear gloves for this one.

Next, lay the center of the fabric over the Base (plastic container) this will form the bottom of your project.

Making Fabric Pots

Now, letting the lengths of fabric hang down, arrange them into even pleats.

Next, allow it to dry which may take a day or two. Once it dries it will be stiff and hard. You can then cut off any odd lengths from the top of the project.

Remove the plastic base and you should have a sturdy fabric pot, finish it off by tying the ribbon around it.

Makes great knick knack holders around the house.
