Charming eye-catcher for balcony, garden or window sill: design your own geranium planters

In this unusual time, Pelargonium for Europe wants to create a positive distraction, because flowers and plants are balm for the soul. Gardening has been shown to raise mood, relax and even help people feel less lonely. 

With their vibrant colors and lush flowers, geraniums are definitely a popular summer decoration and a welcome gift for any hostess. But only a self-designed planter makes it an original eye-catcher or an individual gift. The experts from Pelargonium for Europe present fresh ideas for DIY geranium pots that can make in a short time without a lot of crafting skill.

Colorful pompom pots

Geranium pots with fun guarantee: pompom ribbons, ric-rac and other trimmings and ribbons quickly transform the colorful plastic pots from the garden center into individual design objects in the trendy boho style.

For this idea, simply hot-glue a mix of trimmings and ribbons. Pink and lilac geraniums look absolutely adorable in these fuchsia and turquoise pots. Tip: The pots should be completely clean and dry before gluing on the decorations.

Fun garden baskets

With little effort, simple baskets become individual plant containers for the summer garden, in which the lushly blooming geraniums come into their own. You will need: simple basket jars, felt in the desired color, letter stencils, a pen, scissors and hot glue. Tip: The effect is particularly beautiful when the colors of the felt and the flowers match. And this is how it works: In the first step, draw the required letters on the felt using the templates. It is advisable to work in mirror writing so that the drawn lines are not visible later. Tip: You can also do without templates for an even more individual result. Then you cut out the drawn letters with sharp scissors or fabric scissors. Finally glue the cut letters with hot glue the right way round onto the basket. Tip: An uneven arrangement of the letters makes the lettering appear more lively.

Romantic woolly wrapper

Felt wool, coarse wire mesh and skillful fingers are all you need to turn a simple planter into a real little treasure.  And this is how it is done: First cut the wire mesh to the required width and length. To estimate the correct size, it is best to place the wire mesh loosely around the planter. Then thread the wool through the grid in strips. Irregular spacing make the result appear more lively. Once the entire wire mesh is covered with wool, the two ends of the grid must still be connected. Finally, cover the planter with the wool cover and place the geranium in the pot. Finished!
