DIY Leather Air Plant Pouch

DIY Leather Air Plant Pouch 

I am still high from finding the leather off cuts. I made this super easy leather air plant pouch. I would like to introduce you to my new air plant called 'Old Man's Whiskers'. Weirdly, I did not choose this name. I have been filling my space with crystals and plants. I love it when you can make something from one ingredient and your hands. It is literally just knotting the leather together, Here is how I made this leather air plant pouch for my Old Man's Whiskers.

You will need:

• 2 x pieces of leather or fabric of choice. It is nice to have two different widths and colours for contrast. 
• 1 x air plant. I went for Old Mans Whiskers. It retails at around $13.
• A pair of hands and a pair of scissors.

How it is done:

Step 1 - Take two pieces of leather. The thicker piece is about 20cm and the thinner piece is about 40cm. 

Step 2: Cut two 2cm slits at each end of your thicker piece of leather. These two slits are for your skinnier piece of leather to thread through. Then cut a third slit in the middle, this is where your new air plant friend will hang from. 

Step 3: Take your other piece of leather and thread in into the slits and tie a knot. I think chunky knots look really cool. Then hang your new air plant. He/she should come on a piece of wire. Thread the wire through the middle slit then tie it in a knot.
