This is totally inspired by Farrah Sit. She makes these exceptional containers, which unfortunately I cannot afford right now.
But if you can, please support her and her exquisite hand made containers.

So with a little help from IKEA, some metal thumbtack pins and a piece of scrap leather, i set out to make my own and this is what I came back with.
[...] Lets from Chezrivegauche’s Blog was inspired by some beautiful containers made by Farrah Sit to create a more budget-friendly version. Lets replicated the look for less than $10 by attaching a piece of scrap leather to an ASKER container from Ikea and then embellishing it with thumbtacks. I love this idea to display plants as a form of wall décor. [...]
Brilliant! How did you do this?
I used an ASKER container from Ikea.

Then I superglued a scrap piece of leather and then embellished the ends with thumbtacks. The planter is not hanging by the leather but it has a hole in the back. the leather hanger is just decorative.
