Cement Planter with Braided Suede

Cement is having a serious moment right now. Who knew something so basic could be so trendy? It’s right in line with the wave of minimalism and raw materials. Personally, I adore the way cement looks with natural materials, like wood and leather. So, in true Plant Lady fashion, I came up with some DIY planter ideas using suede lace embellishments. It creates the perfect home for the awesome faux succulents at Darice. Here’s how to make it yourself.

Cement and Suede DIY Planter Ideas Project Supplies:

  • Darice Suede Lace in Chocolate Brown, Black and Rust
  • Geometric Darice Cement Planter
  • Darice All-Purpose Scissors
  • Darice Glue Gun

Step 1. Cut three strands of suede cord. Each one should be 3 inches longer than the height of your planter.

Step 2. Place the planter on its side. Hot glue two strands along the bottom edge.

Tip: If you want the braids to be placed in perfectly equal intervals, use a ruler and pencil.
