This was designed for my university brief.

Here is a step by step DIY plant pot. You can make this at home with what you have at your house.

Easy to make, what you need is cardboard and beer can. Please if you have a child or grandchild do it with them. It will release your stress and its a good chance to get closer to them.

I was stuck in student halls and I tried my best to create the object.

I hope you enjoy it!

(Little written instruction)
