If you’re looking for a way to beat those rainy day blues and prepare for spring, these DIY plant holders can help brighten any room.
Hanging Mason Jars
What you need:
-A Mason jar
-An old magazine page or sheet of newspaper
-Wire
-Hot glue gun
-Plant of choice
What you do:
1. Wrap the wire a couple times around the top of the jar. Put a drop of hot glue on the front and the back to secure it in place.
2. Use extra wire on the end to bend in a design on one side of the jar.
3. Attach more wire on the opposite side of the jar with hot glue and repeat the design.
4. Using the rest of your wire, bend it in a loop over the top of the jar so you can hang it up. Glue down the wire ends of the loop on the sides of the jar next to the swirl designs.
5. Line the inside of the jar with a ripped magazine page and drop in your spring flowers.
Plant Globes
What you need:
-Clear sphere (you can find these at a craft store like Hobby Lobby)

What you do:
1. Take three long pieces of twine. Tie them together at the top and braid them. Knot the strands together at the end.
2. Wrap colorful string closely around the braided twine, tying the thread in a knot at the top and bottom of the section. Repeat for as many sections as you see fit.
3. Place the plants inside the clear sphere.Tie the end of the twine around the loop at the top of the sphere. It is now ready to hang from your ceiling.
