Grow Green: DIY Ecowrap Paper Pots

Hello Hive fam, a pleasant day to all of you. It's @iamjkk and I'm back for another crafting episode. In this blog I am going to teach you how to make a diy durable and creative paper pot.

The Entrep Trade Fair was the main event for this product making. This is the event wherein students from different strands and sections gather and display their proposed products to appeal possible customers. It serves as a practice for students who will pursue business related courses in the near future.

I am the one tasked to make the product in our group. Above is the digital sketch made by one of our co-members. The idea is to create a bouquet-like shape pot. But instead of going for a rounded shape, we opted to use a hexagonal shape with six sides to give our product a more enticing appearance.

LET'S DIVE IN!
For this, we are going to need the following materials:

A few newspapers, a brown cartolina, zoy instant starch for paste, ballpen, and a scissor.

Step 4: Cut it into 6 parts making 6 trapezoidal shapes. The top part measuring 3 inches, the bottom measuring 1 and a half inch, and the sides measuring 3 and a half inches.

Step 5: Paste the 6 triangular papers so that you can have a base.

After finishing the output, I also made two pots with no base to give our customers two options. The final products were displayed in our room together with the other groups and sections. We also made brochures to advocate and promote our ecowrap paper pots.

Making this project was not really that challenging for me since I have an experience in crafting. If you will just follow the measurements, as well as the sketch, I'm sure you can make this perfectly. And if you are a creative type of person, you can create a more innovative version of this product. Play with your imagination and you can do it!

This blog ends here, my fellow hivers. Hopefully you enjoyed reading my blog and I hope I was able to contribute useful ideas for your future eco-friendly products. See you around and have a nice day!
