Health & safety
When using power tools always wear goggles and ear defenders, and ensure all jewellery is tucked away, hair tied back and don’t wear loose clothing that may get tangled.
Cost $30
This excludes Resene products. I used Resene Koru and Woodland, and top coated with Resene Altex Timbercote Exterior Varnish.
Step 1: Paint
Stuff
Paint each ring with your Resene colour choice. I have used Resene Koru and Woodland, and left one ring natural. Once dry, top coat with Resene Altex Timbercote Exterior Varnish as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 2: Drill holes
Stuff
Drill a hole in the centre of each bowl with a 4mm drill bit, to enable the bolt to fit through with ease.
Step 3: File
Stuff
File straight across the bottom of the bowl, if required, to make a groove for the embroidery ring to sit in for better stability
Step 4: Drill a bolthole
Stuff
Measure straight down from top to bottom of each embroidery ring, and make a mark at the bottom of each ring where the bolthole will go. Drill a 4mm hole through the bottom of the ring.
Step 5: Attach metal chain
Stuff
Undo the fixing at the top of the embroidery ring and attached the metal chain, and tighten back up. Cut the chain to the required length with pliers.
Step 6: Thread bolt
Stuff
Thread the bolt through the bottom of the ring and into the bowl. Add the nut and tighten to suit.
Step 7: Put floral foam in bowl
I used Oasis floral foam in my bowls as it is lightweight. Put in your plants or flowers. Make sure your hooks have a good fixing in the ceiling before hanging your planters.
