I have a strange obsession with secret caches. I love to think about new ways to hide anything in a simple place and reuse unnecessary things. This instruction was born from a trip to Ikea to pick up the desk lamp. I noticed a large selection of artificial plants, and decided to buy one and see what I can do with it. And yes, I forgot the lamp.
Step 1: What do you need:
- - a small artificial plant
- - flower pot
- - Empty plastic container (for example, from yogurt. It should be placed in a flower pot)
- - Knife
- - Adhesive Pistol
- - land
Step 2: Remove the plant from Cachepo
- Disassemble an artificial plant. Most plants from IKEA have a rubber disc from a rather inconclusive fake dirt that you need to pull out to get to the connections.
- My plant was connected to a bottom pot with some kind of metal wires, so I had to use nippers to remove it.
- Cut the wires protruding from the bottom of the plant by about 3 centimeters.
Step 3: Cut the container
- Make sure the plastic container can be placed in a pot of only 3-5 centimeters. You may have to try multiple containers to find one that suits.
- Cut the bottom 1.5 centimeter container and save.
- Ensure that the bottom of the container is still in a pot about 3-5 centimeters below the top.
Step 4: Assembly
- Cut the cross in the center of the bottom of the container. Make it carefully, because you can break the plastic, just inserting the blade of the knife.
- Pollinate the wires protruding from the bottom of the fake plants through the cross (or in my case the asterisk).
- apply hot glue to the plant; Use a lot of glue enough to fully cover the bottom of the plants and cuts.
Step 5: Completion
- Put the "plant" in the pot to make sure it sits well.
- pull out the plant and fill the plastic container of the Earth.
- Put everything you want to hide, on the bottom of the pot with a plant.
- Place the plant in the pot on top of it.
Close the earth around to completely hide the plastic.
