DIY Mesh Aquarium Planters

Turn objects into planters for your aquarium with a layer of mesh! Find a ceramic soap dish, clay planter or glass cup and wrap the household item in fishing mesh. Hold the mesh in a bundle, weave a zip tie through the mesh to fasten the bundle and cut off the excess mesh. Plant aquarium-safe moss in the mesh and place the objects in your tank. Use aquarium silicone to glue the edges of a piece of mesh onto the bottom of a planter of cup for a different effect or use sturdier mesh as a stand-alone planter.
