Assembling

To make the strings with leaves you have to crochet some chains and connect the leaves with an SC. I did about 5-6 CH in between each leave.
So, for example, CH5, add a big leave with an SC, CH6, add a small leave with a SC, CH6, add a small leave with an SC and fasten off and weave in tail. I made 3 of these.
I also made one with 2 small leaves. One with 1 big leave and 3 small leaves. One with 1 big leave and 4 small leaves.
Sew all of the Leave strings one by one to the soil/ground. I spaced them kinda evenly in the middle, but you can do it however you like them best.
Cut down your toilet roll tube to about 4 cm long, and place this inside you plant pot. I did this, so the pot will keep it’s shape. This is optional, you don’t have to do it.
Now sew in your soil/ground just above the toilet roll tube, or if you didn’t use it, just a bit under the edge of the pot. Make Sure to stuff the pot lightly before you entirly closed it with the soil/ground.

And you are done with your adorable plant pot with ivy! And this was the last one of these tiny series. Next week something different! You will see~.

Have a lovely day everyone

Love
