A DIY potting tarp to make indoor gardening mess-free.
2) If you’d like to have a tidy hem, fold fabric over ¼ inch and secure it with fabric pins. Using a sewing machine, sew along the edges, or hand-stitch with needle and thread, to avoid the edges fraying.: This step is optional, and a design choice. Depending on the type of fabric used no hem may be needed at all ie: leather, vinyl and most heavy duty coated canvas.
3) Using a snap plier kit and ⅝-inch snap fasteners, apply one snap in each of the four corners with snapping parts facing inwards. Make holes for each of the two snap parts 4 inches from the corner and 2 inches from seams.4) Follow the instructions of your particular snap plier kit to cut holes and insert snap, cap, and socket. You may need an
to assist in making the holes due to fabric weight. Snaps should clasp together on the inside of your tarp creating an upright edge when all four corners are fully fastened.5) For easy storage, sew on a small belt with additional snap closure. Simply fold your tarp into quarters, wrap belt around it, pinning one snap side down and hand- or machine-sew in place. Apply snap closure where the belt overlaps.
