The Process of Making Christmas Winter Planters:
To start off, you will need a have planter of your choice (check out this article for some ideas: winter Garden Planters Types That Are Sure to Please) and then you will need to have all the supplies mentioned above ready so make sure you have it. Next, place your potting soil in the planter and pack it down so that it is even. This will be the foundation of your winter planter.
After, start gluing on your artificial winter berries. Depending on how big or small you want them, you can place them anywhere you like! Once they’re all glued on, take your fake snow and start to glue it on as well. Place winter berries and snow all around the planter for a winter wonderland feel!
To create your winter ivy garlands, cut about 12 or so long pieces of artificial ivy that are fairly thick. Once you have done this, take one piece of winter ivy garland at a time and start to glue it on the planter. Start with one end of winter ivy garland and then move your way around until you have covered all sides that are visible! Make sure not to cover up winter berries or snow if they’re in certain spots though!
Once done, take some small plants (real or fake) and place them into winter planters. We recommend winterberry bushes or winterberry crepe myrtle for the color and winter vibes! Fill up your winter planter with dirt and pack it down gently so that roots can grow into the soil just fine. And then, you’re done!
Now that’s a simple tip to making winter planters once all the supplies are acquired. This process should take you no more than an hour and a half, start to finish! And voila, winter planters that will add Christmas cheer to your home!
