Dress your potted plants in a picket fence made from clothespins. Measure 2 3/4 inches up the side of the pot. Bend a piece of 12-gauge steel wire into a circle 1 inch larger in diameter. Wrap bias tape around wire twice, securing ends with white glue. Slide clothespins onto wire at 1/2-inch intervals. To join the "heads" of the clothespins with bias tape, measure around the circle they create, and cut a piece of bias tape 2 1/2 times longer. Fold bias tape in half lengthwise and then widthwise, hooking the midpoint around head of one clothespin. Wrap loose ends around head, then cross them; repeat wrapping and crossing at each clothespin. Knot and trim excess tape, turn base over, and place pot inside.


Does anyone know what the plants in this picture are?
Looks like a trimmed herb...
Absolutely adorable!

This would look better with a wood stain on the clothespins and a smaller pot.
You people are pathetic, this is one of the more stupid ideas I have seen from Martha Stewart. Bias tape is expensive, I think you could use a lot of other things.
Sorry...they have no appeal to me! I would like it better without the clothespin fence.
Very cute!!
to: amymontagna,
Those look like litttle coleus topiaries.

i think if it was sprayed with a clear finish, it would with stand water and earth stains. thank you for all your wonderfull ideas
