This great craft idea for spring is ideal for giving as a small gift for Easter. Of course, the hanging planters can also be used as eye-catchers. What's more, your child can help you with this project in many different ways.

• Colored leather cords
• copper wire
• small wooden rings
• wooden beads
• a hot glue gun
• scissors
• a small plant such as pansies, cacti, tillandsias or succulents

How to proceed

1. First cut the copper wire to the appropriate length so that 16 wooden beads can be threaded onto it. Your child can now string the beads, form a circle and tie the whole thing into a knot.
2. In the next step, thread a wooden ring onto two leather cords and draw a mark where the animal figure should sit later. The cords are now wrapped around the wire, with four wooden beads placed between them.
3. Now it's finally the animal figure's turn to be glued to the wooden beads. Use a hot glue gun to apply enough glue to the inner part of the wooden beads so that the ceramic figure can be securely attached.
4. Then tie a knot under the plant pot and under the wooden ring with an additional leather cord. Ideally, you should use different colors so that the planter stands out in contrast. Now form a loop and wrap the cord tightly around it. Finally, place the small plant in the pot and you have a particularly beautiful, personal decoration for spring.
