Make unusual stands for flowers in pots. Such napkins will look much more interesting than the clay saucers that usually come with the pot, especially if the plants are in the room. You can also use them for glasses or hot cups.
In addition, this is a good way to use leftover fabric and scraps that are too small to sew something serious out of.
Materials
- Fabric scraps.
- Scissors.
- Sewing machine or thread and needle.
- Flower in a pot (optional).
Cutting out the details
Cut a square from the fabric you plan to use for the centerpiece of the stand. You can use burlap; it is made from natural materials and will go well with living plants. Make the stand multi-layered so that it better absorbs moisture that seeps out of the pot.
The side parts should be slightly longer than the side of the square. Add a hem allowance to the length if you want to hem the edges to prevent them from fraying.
Sew the details
First, stitch several layers of the central part to each other so that they do not move apart.
Then sew the side pieces to the center piece the way you like! It's easiest to sew the opposite edges first, then the remaining two edges. You can also sew the side pieces in a circle so that each next one overlaps the previous one. Choose your option or make different ones.
Ready!
Place flowers, glasses or anything else on the stands and enjoy the result of your labor!
