Creating Jute Hanging Vase

Instructions:

Prepare the Hanging Loop Begin by reusing a small plastic bottle and cleaning it thoroughly. This bottle will serve as the base for your hanging vase. Take a jute cord of your desired length and securely tie it around the neck of the bottle to create a loop. This loop will allow you to hang the vase elegantly on any wall or hook. Adjust the length of the cord to your preference and knot it tightly.
Wrap the Jute Ribbon Now, take the 5.5-inch wide jute ribbon and gently wrap it around the plastic bottle. Ensure that the ribbon covers the entire bottle evenly, hiding the plastic surface beneath. Use scissors to trim any excess ribbon and secure the end by tucking it under the wrapped section or using a small dab of adhesive.
Add Jute Cord Embellishments: To enhance the vase's rustic appeal, wrap a thinner jute cord around the middle section of the bottle about 3 to 4 times. This additional layer adds texture and visual interest to the hanging vase.
Tie a bow: Tie a simple bow with the jute cord to create a charming finishing touch. You can also experiment with different wrapping styles for a unique look.
Insert Your Houseplant: It's time to introduce some greenery! Choose a vibrant Pothos plant or any other houseplant that you adore. Carefully insert the potted plant into the jute-wrapped bottle, making sure it sits securely.
Hang and Admire!: With your jute hanging vase now complete, find the perfect spot to display your green masterpiece. Hang it on a wall, from a ceiling hook, or even by a window to let your plant bask in natural sunlight. The rustic charm of the jute will beautifully complement the lushness of your houseplant, creating an eye-catching decor piece.

Maintenance Tips: To keep your jute hanging vase looking fresh and your plant thriving, remember to water it according to your plant's needs. Take the plant out of the vase for watering, and ensure that any excess water drains completely before placing it back in the vase. Regularly trim and care for your plant to maintain its health and appearance.

Instructions:

For a unique and eye-catching decoration, gather a paper woven placemat (15" round) and two straw pot mats (7" round), or you can use any sizes and materials that you prefer.
Start by creating a stylish backdrop by hanging the woven paper placemat between the two straw pot mats. Securely hang the top straw mat, then position the woven paper placemat in the middle, and finally hang the bottom straw mat. You can arrange them in any order you like.

Decoration ideas

Artificial plants

Option 1. Use artificial plants
No maintenance required once you hang them, making it a hassle-free decor option. However, keep in mind that some artificial plants may look fake, so choose high-quality and realistic ones to enhance the overall look.

Real Plants

Option 2. Use all real plants
Incorporating real plants adds a natural and organic touch to your wall hanging. You can also create beautiful dried flower arrangements with some of the plants. Be mindful of the plants you choose; select varieties that are suitable for wall hanging and can retain their beauty even when dried.

Half real & Half artificial plants

Option 3. Half real plants and half artificial plants
For the best of both worlds, consider using a mix of real and artificial plants. Real plants bring authenticity and life to the arrangement, while artificial plants provide long-lasting beauty without maintenance. Incorporating a few real elements, like the rosemary branches, can make the entire display feel more lifelike.
