Learn how to make a lighting flower pot step by step!You want your backyard or garden to look inviting and comfortable. Glowing flower POTS are a great way to make your garden or backyard romantic, inviting and emotionally calming. They are versatile, weather-resistant and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
First, make sure you get the tools and materials to make it.
1. Translucent Planter
2. White Planter Pot (one size smaller than the translucent planter)
3. Solar Power
4. Solar LED Light Rope
5. Gravels
6. Foil (optional)
7. Hot Glue
8. Drill
1. Arrange a Translucent flower pot
Buy or use an old flowerpot, If you use old POTS, you need to grind the edges to ensure that the POTS are smooth and flat.And the flower pot has a strong light transmission, otherwise it will affect the brightness of the flower pot. Test its transmittance with a flashlight.
2. Smaller Planter
You need an extra pot. It should be one size smaller than the first one. Put the small pot in the middle of the big one
3. Wrap it in Foil
Either paint the small planter using white paint (if it isn’t already) or wrap it in foil. Remember that if you choose the latter option, it may reflect the lights.
4. Drill
Use a drill to make a hole on one side of the large pot. This way you are creating a passage for the solar LED light rope to move.
5. Put Light Rope
Now insert the solar LED light rope into the hole. Make sure you move most of the rope inside, keeping just a minor part out to connect to the solar power.
6. Glue
Use a hot glue gun to adhere the inserted light rope to the smaller pot. Roll the LED light rope from top to bottom on the pot.
7. Add Gravels (Optional)
If the smaller planter turns out to be a little short for the project, add gravels to the bigger one to give small pot some height.
8. Arrange the Pots
Put the smaller pot into the bigger one carefully without damaging the light rope. Add soil and plants!
9. Attach Solar Power
Insert the solar power into the soil and enjoy your homemade solar illuminated planter!
