So I grabbed a plastic coleslaw pot before it disappeared off into the recycling bin. This pot had a lid which I could use as a 'dish' to place the pot on. Due to lots of plant preferring to be fed from the roots up I decided to put holes on the bottom of the pot. Holes also help drain excess water and prevent root rot. To add holes I used a screw as it was the first thing I found that was sharp; it was quite handy to get the holes to the size I wanted them. (Anything that's sharp enough to get through the plastic would work).
To make the pot look less like a coleslaw pot I grabbed some parcel string and glue. Any sort of string or yarn can be used for this, whatever looks good. I put glue on the pot then wrapped the string around the pot in a spiral every-so-often pushing all the string together to make sure plastic didn't show.
I didn't wrap the string all the way to the bottom of the pot as the bottom would get wet.
I had some spare yarn so tied this around the top to make a bow.
The end.
