DIY Fabric Pocket Planter

Despite my brown thumb, I LOVE having plants around the house. I swear I try really hard to keep everything alive, but fake plants are more my speed. Since I was getting antsy to make some home decor changes, I started by swapping out one of my photo frames for this simple DIY fabric pocket planter made with fabric and a macrame hoop! Filled with a few faux succulents, it adds some greenery to the wall in my dining room along with a pop of color from the fabric. Even though I can’t make any big changes around the house right now, it’s nice to switch up the decor on my walls once in a while, and this simple planter DIY was the perfect place to start.

I came across this colorful striped and scalloped printed fabric at JOANN, and I just couldn’t resist buying it for a project! As far as sewing projects go, I’d say this is a beginner sewing project. There’s little sewing involved, and the only part I’d find difficult for a beginner is sewing the curve of the bottom of the pocket, but it just takes a bit of patience. All in all, you can make this simple fabric pocket planter for your wall in less than 15 minutes. 

As you’ll see, the only thing holding the fabric pocket in place is glue, so you can’t use any heavy materials inside of the planter. That’s why I used a lightweight straw-like filler and fake plants, creating a pretty look without the weight of  soil (which I wouldn’t want with fabric anyway) or the weight of rocks, which are more common in planters.

Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

  • 1/4 yard patterned heavy fabric (such as home decor fabric)
  • 8 or 10-inch metal macrame hoop
  • Lightweight floral filler
  • Fake succulents or flowers (similar)
  • Scissors
  • Thread
  • Pins
  • Glue gun

Step 1: Fold the fabric in half. Lay the macrame hoop on top, with about half of the hoop hanging off. Cut a half circle at least 1 inch wider than the hoop. These will make either side of the pocket.

Step 2: Fold the flat side of the pockets over about 1/2 inch and pin. Sew across for a clean look and trim excess strings.

Step 3: Pin the right sides of the fabric together. Sew only along the curved edge with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Back stitch at both ends. Then turn the pocket right side out.

Step 4: Place the hoop inside the pocket so that it is snug and pushed to the bottom. Use the glue gun along the inside of the pocket to glue the hoop to the fabric, leaving the straight top unglued. This secures the pocket in place, so don’t be shy with the glue!

Step 5: Place some lightweight filler into the pocket and then insert succulent stems or flowers until full.

Remember, the glue is holding the pocket on, so you don’t want the pocket planter to become too heavy!

Hang your new fabric pocket planter from the top hoop on your wall using a nail or a command hook (recommended) and enjoy! I love the pop of color this adds to my dining room gallery, and it feels completely unique compared to all of the other planters in my home.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
