I've seen this item a few times online. I've always thought it looked cool and thought I'd give it a shot. The toughest part was finding the jar to use that would hang from a string. I already had the air plants and now I just had to figure out how to get a hole drilled into the ceramic glazed jar. You definitely need a high powered drill and a drill bit equipped for masonry. It takes some time to drill through the ceramic - be warned!
Supplies Used:
Air plants
Hot glue gun
Cord
Small Container/jar
Power drill
I drilled through the bottom of the jar slowly - it took about 10 - 15 minutes to finally get through it. I had to put water on the center of the jar to help keep the drill bit cool as I worked to drill the hole. The key is taking your time!
I tied a knot on one end once I pulled the cord through the jar to allow it to hang. I then hot glued the air plant to the cord. I'm sure there is a more sophisticated way to do that. hahaha
