For the small pot cut about a 4 inch section of the rope to make the loop for the top and for the large pot cut a 6-7 inch section of the rope. Wrap all the way until you get close to the top.The small pot will use about 1.5 ropes, the large one will use 3 and a small section of the remaining section from the smaller pot. Keep wrapping around the pot and gluing until you reach the end of the rope. Keep adding glue and then the rope on top. Start by applying a thin line of hot glue along the bottom edge of the flower pot.Ready to get crafting? You will find the full tutorial below!
BEE HIVE CRAFTS HOW TO
Once dried, use scrap rope to create the hive hole add decorations, and place it on display! How to Make a Miniature Beehive To do this cut a small amount of jute rope to create the hoop at the top, secure it with hot glue, and then cover the gap by wrapping the rope the remaining way up.Ĭut the last of the rope off and let dry for a few minutes before continuing on! Once you reach the top leave a gap to create your hoop. When wrapping your pots make sure there are not any visible gaps between the ropes. Once you’ve reached the end of your first rope, repeat with another rope from where you left off.įor our beehives, we only needed about one and a half of the ropes for the smaller pot so it was twelve feet in length, and three of the ropes for the larger one so it was twenty-four feet in length.
Next, take some jute twine about eight feet long and wrap it tightly around the bottom of the flower pot twice using hot glue to secure until you reach the end of the rope. You’ll also want ones with nice, clean edges (no decorated lips) so it looks tidier when finished! All of these flower pots were $1 each! For ours, we chose two different sizes to give a layered look. Choose one that has the shape and sizes of the beehives that you want. The first thing you’ll need is a plastic pot from your local dollar tree store. This process can work best if you have two different sized pots – but feel free to use more than two depending on what look you’re going for 🙂
