Whether your green thumb – or square footage – allow you the luxury of a full-on home garden or not, use this DIY as an excuse to get your hands dirty this weekend!

Kokedama are small, Japanese-style hanging planters that use just a little moss and string to create the most stunning Zen-like display. Using the right soil is key, but the materials are simple. Gather them up and create just one for a patio space or make up to a dozen for gifts and garden parties!

  • Here's what you'll need...

    Small plant
    Heavy clay mud or bonsai soil
    Potting soil
    Moss
    Twine

  • Find the instructions here...

    The full instructions for creating your kokedama can be found at Makezine's blog. Gather your supplies, follow the instructions and enjoy a green weekend!
