DIY idea: make hanging pots from coconuts

Creative through the summer

Who stole the coconut ?! We do it to make cool hanging pots. We'll show you how easy it is to bring home the tropical feeling.

That's what you need for the hanging pots:

  • coconut
  • Drehmelwerkzeug
  • drilling machine
  • Spoon for removing the pulp
  • Natural cords (craft shop)
  • Wooden balls (craft shop)
  • succulents

And that's how easy it is:

1. Halve the coconut with the Dremelwerkzeug and remove the Fruchtfleich, clean and let dry so it does not mold later.

2. Using the drill drill at three places about 1.50 cm below the edge at regular intervals holes.

3. Thread and knot the cords to hang through the holes, thread wooden balls onto the knots for the ornament.

4. Loosen the succulents from the plastic pots and place them in the coconut halves, press the soil well and water gently.

5. Now the coconut halves can be hung on the cords.
