Project Overview & Aesthetic Design
A Scandinavian-style cylindrical plant sleeve featuring vertical cardboard half-tubes arranged side-by-side to create a trendy ribbed/fluted texture, finished in a stone-beige limewash.
Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide
-
Slice 6 to 8 toilet paper rolls in half lengthwise using a utility knife to create curved half-cylinders.
-
Trim an empty metal coffee can or plastic container to serve as the structural inner core.
-
Glue the curved half-tubes vertically around the outside of the can using hot glue, placing them tightly side-by-side.
-
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda into 0.5 cups of beige chalk paint to create a thick plaster texture.
-
Paint the ribbed exterior with the gritty mixture, covering all cardboard seams.
-
Seal with a matte clear spray and insert a potted succulent or snake plant.

Pro Crafter Tip
The baking soda paint mixture fills the seams between adjacent cardboard tubes, giving the sleeve the seamless look of real fluted ceramic.
