- Today I will show you how to make these fast and easy burlap liners to go into your hanging planter baskets! These will last longer than the coconut coir liners and when you do have to replace them, just throw the in your compost pile! I hope you give this a try and thanks for watching!!
If you put a liner inside your liner that's impervious like ground cloth it will keep the soil off the burlap and cause your exterior liner to last years longer. Thanks for the video.
You did a really nice job. However, you really don't need to go through all that trouble to stitch pieces of burlap together. Just use one solid piece. I have 22" hanging baskets that normally use coco liners. However I used a solid piece of burlap. I cu the piece bigger than necessary so that there are approximately two inches of overlap all around the edge. I fill it with growing medium, then my fill with my plants and hang it in place. I do not trim the edges until about a week later because the fabric will sort of sag and settle into place over the next few days. It will actually create a sort of bulbous round full appearance in between the black frame of the metal hanging basket; with no creases or wrinkles. Once I feel confident the fabric has stopped flexing and stretching I go back and carefully trim the edges. But I still leave a little extra which won't matter as my hanging plants will quickly cover the edge of the basket. When it's all done it actually looks a lot nicer than the coco liners that are so much more money. However, the burlap I buy is usually only good for about one year. But that's fine by me, I am able to do five 22" hanging baskets and ten four foot troughs for $40. I can't even buy two coco liners for that amount.
Lol, he may not have had to do it for his hanging basket, but thank goodness he did, as I needed to sew inserts for rose gold wire baskets that shape for my daughter's room make over, and it certainly does the trick!!
I'm going to follow his pattern as I think there will be less waste of burlap, rather than using your method... but whatever works for you! 😉
@@fatdanios you don't need to cut 4 pcs and sew. Just measure the interior space, fold the materiall and cut one big half circle. and then unfold. You can fold in the excess. You don't need to cut it off. Point s who wants to bother sewing. Not me.
Super!! Thanks so much, this has inspired me to give it a try! You gave excellent instructions that are very easy to follow! Thanks again!
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing. I'll be doing this during the corona lockdown. Stay safe and be well!
Thanks for sharing Scrappy. I enjoy watching your projects.
You are a very good instructor. Thanks!
Wow been trying to do a liner in my basket for an hour and can’t work it out. This is brilliant used some newspaper for the template and two mins on sewing machine t-dah!
What a smart idea. I have some leftover burlaps, I am going to make this. Thank you for the tutorial.
Didn't find lots of videos on how to make liners for hanging baskets but this is the best and really easy to make. I'll be using outdoor fabric since I don't have a serger. Will see how that works :) Thanks for this great idea.
That was easier than I thought it would be! Neat!
Very clever, thank you for sharing
Terrific! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tnx! I'll use the same method to make liners for my half moon containers.
Thanks for sharing
I have been looking for the coco liners and nowhere to be found. I didn't even think of making one! Thank you for the idea, I enjoyed watching your video and that you own a serger...cool.
The main problem (I find) with coir/coconut fiber liners is -------- the birds LOVE to pull apart the liners, using the fibers for nesting material.
Loved it, thanks! I wish you showed us the finished product (soil and plant inside basket)
Sorry!
You just saved me hours of frustration and wasted fabric making inserts for wire baskets to go in my daughters room! Cheers!! 😁
Glad I could help!
Good man
Very creative. Good job.
Thanks friend!
This is one brilliant idea! I'm so sick of those coir liners being eaten by the birds.
LOL birds can be a pain, but they are so cute ;-)
No kidding. I have four or five baskets around my house/in my garden, and the birds just go to town, grabbing the coir for nesting material. I finally replaced one liner, using a pair of old jeans. So far, so good.
I need some for my 1/2 round baskets. Any suggestions? Also I don't have a serger and you suggested using a long tight zigzag stitch, would I not need to add a seam allowance?
Yeas you probably would need at least an 1/8 th inch seam allowance. For the half basket make a template for the back. Should be one piece of fabric like a semi circle. And then you can make the 3 or 4 sections for the front
Great video! Would cutting a large circle and placing it in also work?
That would work, you would just have some folded flaps around the edges.
@@ScrappyPatch Thank you!
This is a little late but, if you use a circle, you could put some darts in the circle. I would suggest 4 equidistant darts. Just pinch then pin them while the circle is in the basket and sew them pinched. I would allow a little wiggle room for the expansion, so maybe make the dart an inch or so smaller at the rim of the fabric. If you subtract an inch at the top of one dart at the rim of the fabric, that equates to two inches, when sewn, therefore, 4 darts reduced by one inch will equal 8 inches for expansion.
@@victoriawalters4006 Sounds easy ----- if you do it. Your calculations had my head hurting, though.
How about making a liner for a horse trough
What if u dont have a sewing machine? Isn't there a easier way to do this ? There must be with out all that fuss. Please advice thank you 😏
You could just cut squares and line the whole basket that way
Nice video coco liners getting too expensive and harder to find
