Hi there! Janel here from NellieBellie. Are you ready for a great tip for getting clean air and pretty plants in the same project? Well, you are in luck because that is exactly what we have for you today. (cue applause) Did you know that certain plants have the ability to purify the air? What?!? So today’s project is a space saver, air purifier, and beautifying project. (cue more applause)
How to Create a Hanging Indoor Planter
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. Click here to read our full disclosure policy.
Materials:
- over door shoe organizer (you’ll want a plastic one!)
- outdoor ModPodge (or clear shipping tape)
- soil
- plants
Step 1.
The first thing you need to do is make your organizer water tight so that you won’t have drips of water all over your floor everytime you water your plants. We covered the back of our organizer in multiple layers of outdoor ModPodge to make it watertight. Using clear shipping tape would be another great option. Either way, you want to be sure that your organizer won’t seep water.
Step 2.
Fill your pockets with soil and plants (a list of some purifying plants is at the bottom of this post!). This could get a bit messy, cover your floor, and be ready with a vacuum. Think about if you are going to fill every pocket or leave a few empty. (we left many empty to clip photo’s to the front of. we think that is kind of cool!)
Step 3.
Vacuum your mess, hang your new hanger on the door, and clip photo’s to it (if you so choose!). Now, if you use a vine you can use clothes hangers to help that vine “climb” your hanger.
