Hola hermosa comunidad de Hive!!
¡¡Si son amantes de las plantas y de las manualidades esto les va a encantar!! Quiero mostrarles cómo reciclar un envase de margarina en una maceta con forma de carreta. Es ideal para plantas pequeñas que no requieran mucha agua, con esta linda maceta podemos construir un pequeño jardín en nuestra casa.
Es muy sencilla de elaborar, ¡comencemos!
Materiales:
Envase pequeño de margarina
Tijera, pincel y pinturas
4 palitos de madera
1 tapa de una botella de refresco
Silicón
Step 1:
We cut small holes in the margarine container so that our plant can drain the water.
Paso 1:
Le abrimos pequeños agujeros al envase de margarina para que la planta pueda drenar el agua.
Step 2:
We paint the container in the color of our preference. In my case, I painted it brown to give it a wooden look. To make sure it is well covered, I applied two coats of paint. To make it look as similar as possible to wood, the brush strokes were strong, so that the bristles of the brush would be marked. I also did some details with black and dark brown paint.
A little tip to make the paint look shiny is to add a little glue.
Paso 2:
Pintar el envase del color de nuestra preferencia. En mi caso, lo pinté de marrón para dar el aspecto de madera. Para que quede bien cubierto, le coloqué dos capas de pintura. Para que fuese lo más parecido a la madera, pinté haciendo presión de manera que se marcaran las cerdas del pincel. También le hice algunos detalles con pintura negra y marrón oscuro.
Un tip para que la pintura quede brillante, es añadirle un poco de pega.
Step 3:
Open the holes in the container where we are going to insert the sticks. It is important that the holes are at the same height.
Paso 3:
Abrirle los agujeros al envase en donde vamos a introducir los palitos. Es importante que los agujeros queden a la misma altura.
Step 4:
Once the holes are open, cut two sticks of 8 centimeters each, insert them and glue them with silicone.
Keep in mind that the sticks must be at the same height, because these are the base of the cart, if they are uneven it would not have stability.
Paso 4:
Ya abiertos los agujeros, cortamos dos palitos de 8 cm cada uno, los introducimos y pegamos con silicón.
Nota: los palitos deben estar a la misma altura, porque estos son la base de la carreta, de estar disparejos no tendría estabilidad.
Step 5:
Cut two sticks of 25 centimeters each and glue them as shown in the photo. In the part where we will place the wheel we must leave 3 centimeters of separation between both sticks.
Paso 5:
Cortamos dos palitos de 25 cm cada uno y pegamos como muestro en la foto. En la parte en donde colocaremos la rueda debemos dejar 3cm de separación entre ambos palitos.
Step 6:
We make a hole in the center of the bottle cap to insert a 5 centimeters stick. Once this is done, we glue as shown in the image.
Paso 6:
Le hacemos un agujero en el centro a la tapa de la botella para introducir un palito de 5 cm. Luego, pegamos así como muestro en la imagen.
We have our pot ready, now let's plant!
¡Tenemos nuestra maceta lista, ahora a sembrar!
