HANGING PLANT DIY | From Sifter to Planter

Budget proof, stylish and ready in an hour: this hanging planter DIY project has it all! And the best part: it involves upcycling an item that everyone will have in their home: a plain sifter!

Yes, that’s right! These gold beauties are the cheapest sifters that I could find and I transformed them into these gold hanging planters. And so can you!

HANGING PLANT DIY | From Sifter to Planter

Why it’s a game changer:

– Each planter cost about €5,00 to make
– Don’t like gold? Use your favourite colour!
– With outdoor spray paint, you can also hang them in your garden.
– Add green into your home without using any valuable space

Why this works best for my home is because I have a tiny studio and only one wall that I often use as a photo wall.(the wall behind my sofa) Since I can’t put any wallpaper on the wall or hang anything on there, because it has to stay clean and white, it really felt very dull and plain compared to the rest of my living space.

HANGING PLANT DIY | From Sifter to Planter

These hanging planters were the perfect solution! They don’t take up any valuable space in my tiny home and I can easily take them down when I have to use the entire wall for a photoshoot.

The best part is that it really makes the room become more alive, I think that it works so well because they are hanging in different heights.

STEP 3 – Hoops

STEP 10

– Attach the hook into your ceiling (My ceiling has wooden beams, if yours doesn’t you can use other ways to attach the planter: This website offers several ideas)

What I love most about this project

  • You can play with several sifters in different heights.
  • Mixing different plants in one sifter would also look awesome!
  • This hanging planter would also be great to hang in front of your window and create a little bit of privacy instead of using curtains.
