sanseviera

Hey Lovelies!

Last week I gave you a pattern of adorable crochet plant pots! You could make 3 versions, and leave them as they are.

But as promised I will teach you to make a fake plant for them! The best thing is that when you finish it, you don’t have to care for it at all, and it will stay as pretty as it is! Awesome, right?!

So, I decided to make a Sanseviera today. It’s a pretty easy plant to crochet but looks still cute. I made it with pastel colors but you are free to change it up to your likings! ^-^

For this DIY you’ll need.

Stitches used:
SC = Single Crochet.
DC = Double Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
Slst = Slip Stitch.

Assembling

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.
Get your 3 small leave and sew those together, you only have to sew the short side of the leaves together. Now sew your 3 large leaves around the 3 small ones.
When all the leaves are sewn together to your likings, then sew them to the soil/ground. You can also use (hot) Glue if you are lazy haha.

And you are done with your adorable plant pot with plant. Next week I will teach you how to make another plant, or maybe the week after, since Valentines day is coming up as well, maybe I’ll do a DIY for that.

Until then, and stay Healthy and Safe!

Love
Danielle
