Faux DIY Flower Beds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Plantable Felt Garden Box is Made Specifically for Children

— May 7, 2014 — Art & Design
The A Beautiful Mess DIY Plantable Felt Garden Box provides a creative alternative to standard arts and crafts projects for children. Specifically designed for kids, the faux pots also offer some green horticultural inspiration during colder months.

Made primarily of felt, the Garden Box requires velcro, pipe cleaners, brown paint and jersey cotton sheets. A step by step guide allows readers to comprehend how these bits and pieces are assembled, eventually giving way to the colorful flower and vegetable beds.

There is an interactive component that comes with this project. Once the strawberries and beets have been sewn together, children can switch up their positions within the crate, giving way to different compositions and arrangements.
