I have been looking for a large floor pot to place my faux olive tree in, but I found it hard to find a pot in the size I wanted for a reasonable prize. So I decided to make one of my own using an old laundry basket!
MATERIALS
- Laundry basket
- Chicken wire
- Plaster gauze
- Putty / filler
- Packing paper
- Paint
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cover the laundry basket in putty/filler.
- Build your desired shape with chicken wire
