Hanging circle planters

Step 1
Paint each ring with your Resene colour choice. I have used Resene Koru and Woodland, and left one ring natural. Once dry, top coat with Resene Altex Timbercote Exterior Varnish as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2
Drill a hole in the centre of each bowl with a 4mm drill bit, to enable the bolt to fit through with ease.

Step 3
File straight across the bottom of the bowl, if required, to make a groove for the embroidery ring to sit in for better stability.

Step 4
Measure straight down from top to bottom of each embroidery ring, and make a mark at the bottom of each ring where the bolt hole will go. Drill a 4mm hole through the bottom of the ring.

Step 5
Undo the fixing at the top of the embroidery ring and attached the metal chain, and tighten back up. Cut the chain to the required length with pliers.

Step 6
Thread the bolt through the bottom of the ring and into the bowl. Add the nut and tighten to suit.

Step 7
I used Oasis floral foam in my bowls as it is lightweight. Put in your plants or flowers. Make sure your hooks have a good fixing in the ceiling before hanging your planters.
