Clay Planter + Dish Garden Workshop

We share a love for succulents and plants with one of our crafter friends from 10a Alabama, Femi of Gawa ni Femi. But unlike her, we're still clueless on how to keep our plants alive. Haha! ;)

Good thing she came over and taught us basic succulent planting tips, and together we decided to collaborate on a workshop! We are combining two workshops to bring you a Clay Planter + Dish Garden Workshop on August 10, 1pm-4pm, at the Hey Kessy Studio.

For the first part, Mansy will be teaching how to make planters and plant labels from slabs of clay. The participants will also get to bake and personalize their works using washi tape. Afterwards, Femi will take over and teach them about different types of succulents which they can use to make their own dish garden!

So, if you're like us who love crafts and plants but have limited space for gardening, join us!  Slots are limited so register now.

Fee is only P3000, inclusive of all materials and drinks.

Weekend Craft Challenge: DIY Washied Planter

Here's a simple DIY project we're sure everyone would enjoy making! Show extra care to your little succulents by making them new homes that give them more space to grow and at the same time, look as cute as them! These washi taped planters are easy to make. :)



MATERIALS:

Mod Podge 

Rugby
Sand paper

Washi tape
Scissors
Wooden Planks

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare five pieces of small wooden planks - four of which are for the sides and the last one is the base. You can make any size as you want. For my planters, I prepared 2 different sizes.

Polish the sides and edges using sand paper. Make sure no splinters are left. This would also make it easier for you to decorate the planter. 

 

2. Use rugby to glue the pieces together. Don't apply too much rugby so it would look neat and take only a few minutes to dry. When it's ready, use sand paper to remove excess dried rugby.

3. Use a medium-sized nail to make holes in the bottom of the planter. This is very important so that excess water can be drained.

4. Use washi tape to cover the planter. Combine different colors to create patterns. To make your planters more durable, varnish the sides with Mod Podge.

Now, you can transfer your succulents into your planters! Happy 1st of July, everyone! :)
