Burlap Plant Containers

Plant containers need not be only terra-cotta. My idea for creative plantpots and containers will enhance the beauty of their contents. For cheerful containers, I used burlap strings and money plant to complement their contents. Terra-cotta is very porous, and it's important to use materials that won't harm the plants burlop cloth or burlop strings when wet gives cooling effect to the containers plants feel terra-cotta impression with burlaps on them. my inspirational post today...

Burlap projects, Holy Bhagwad Geeta

The other day I walked out of the grain store with two sacful of grain, nothing to do with the grains there was not any need now, we had already drumful in our kitchen.i bought them for the grain sacs that is burlap sacs  only . I love burlap.

Reaching home I hurredly emptied the bags and took photos of them . I realized how great they looked together. Ready for their project, but pretty great just in photos.

My obsession with grain sacs is in full swing

Don’t you love burlap? Isn’t it elegant when paired with the right images?

 

 

 I cut them in half. unravel half of them for twine...

 then I created a  flower vase cum a pitcher box shown above.   Its size is 10 inches tall, circmfrance of the belly is 20 inches opening  diameter is narrow just 3.5 inches. All the twine with natural colour is highlighted with a tinch of red and green colour, its because of the print on the grain sac.

Its made by me and by hand in the rag basket style of coiling and weaving twine around a cord. Rag bskets are usually made by wrapping strips of fabric around a core. In this case, cable wire emptied its copper wire and “sewing” into previous row. Its lid is made from the same twine wrapped wire.

This vase is created by coiling and weaving unraveled twines of grain sac around sturdy cable wire. My cording is cable wire, i cut it from one side pull out its copper wire. After removing the wire and having cut in its belly it was sturdy and round like the new one. It gave me 5 rows per inch gauge.

This vase will display dried or silk arrangement, but you can surprise your guests with flowers from your garden by using the plastic or stainless-steel or glass tumbler.

In case you want to stack things of your purse you can make its lid.....

Its really multipurpose item; i use it to hold my glue-gun, my small rulers, brushes etc, so it is aready for use. Could be used as a fresh or dried flowers or to hold bunch of needles too.

The lid here is something unfit  i will make another one to fit on the rim of the vase. If you want to use it as aflower vase you can place it along its side it will add to its beauty and will look chic.

another project with a hot case

 I had an abandoned hot case and I crocheted un outer cover with unraveled sac twine for it emblished int with beads.

It look delicious in twine

I attached burlap pieces inside the basket

here my belongings are sitting in it ,isn't they are in  lovely position?

 

I wrapped some twine around empty tin for my plants.

 

cut stripes and wrap around the old gasket to make the wrath base hanged on the door above

 

 

 

then wrapped around a plastic paint tin to make flower vase

 

crocheted a kitchen scrubber with leftover twine,how lovely it is with red and green details

verses of HBG

अत्र शूरा महेष्वासा भीमार्जुनसमा युधि
युयुधानो विराटश्च द्रुपदश्च महारथ: || 4||

धृष्टकेतुश्चेकितान: काशिराजश्च वीर्यवान् |
पुरुजित्कुन्तिभोजश्च शैयश्च नरपुङ्गव: || 5||

युधामन्युश्च विक्रान्त उत्तमौजाश्च वीर्यवान् |
सौभद्रो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्व एव महारथा: || 6||

1.4-6: Behold in their ranks are many powerful warriors, like Yuyudhan, Virat, and Drupad, wielding mighty bows and equal in military prowess to Bheem and Arjun. There are also accomplished heroes like Dhrishtaketu, Chekitan, the gallant King of Kashi, Purujit, Kuntibhoj, and Shaibya—all the best of men. In their ranks, they also have the courageous Yudhamanyu, the gallant Uttamauja, the son of Subhadra, and the sons of Draupadi, who are all great warrior chiefs.

Commentary: In the eyes of Duryodhan, due to his fear of the looming catastrophe, the army mobilized by the Pandavas seemed larger than it actually was.  Expressing his anxiety, he pointed out the mahārathīs (warriors who could single handedly match the strength of ten thousand ordinary warriors) present on the Pandavas side.  Duryodhan mentioned the exceptional heroes amidst the Pandavas ranks, who were all great military commanders equal in strength to Arjun and Bheem, and who would be formidable in the battle.

Me! On green living ways.............IG auditorium

Yes!I am exploring some more Burlap sac decoration items.........Burlap is actually Hessian (cloth)  in India previously all the burlap grain sacs were used to fill the crops of grains…when I was a kid …..still remember lots lllloooooooooooootttttts of burlop sacs filled up with grains  mostly bajra and Grams which was grown in our rainfed sandy area…………..i remember we used to play hide and seek in between filled up sacs of grain……….they may stay their months together in the yard of our mansion ..waiting for grain dealer to transport them in their  godowns i.e. WarehousesThey usually store the grains their and create artificial shortages and make money. Poor farmers! Pity on farmers! And shame for Businessmen /middle men who create money creating false deficiency !Anyhow! Here is my half empty grain sac that is Burlap sac mom is using for several utility items out of it………..here are some and doing on these pieces with prints on them ………..beading on fringes………..let see. What will the outcome I will make some of these items and will post …………on my blog!   Yes here itself!.
