Follow these instructions and make your own newspaper plant pots.

These pots are ideal for starting seeds, or for rooting cuttings.

Step 1

Take a sheet of newspaper approx 12″ square and fold it in half, then fold it in half lengthways again. You should now have a strip of paper. Place your food can on the paper.

Step 2

Fold the paper up the sides of the can like this -

Trim the paper to size if you need to.

Step 3

Now take another sheet of paper,this piece should be larger than the first one you used.
Fold it in half, then in half again. You should have a strip of paper wider than the first one.
Place your can with the 1st newspaper strip onto the edge of this 2nd strip and roll it up.

Step 4

Slide the can out of the paper tube. You may need to wiggle it a little bit.

Step 6

Fold the paper at the top of the pot over towards the middle. Make the fold about an inch or so from the top. Your pot is now secure.

Step 7

Fill the pot with soil and plant a seed or a cutting.

That’s it!
