Making hanging pots

I was lucky enough to be given a number of old hanging pots that had no lining. Looking around my place I found a couple of things that I thought would work....

I had an old conference bag made from some kind of manufactured material. I cut it down the sides, fitted it into the wire frame, cut and fitted the offcuts into the spaces then cut a few holes in the bottom and trimmed it around the top. See first set of pictures below.

The second things I had were an old hessian coffee bag and an empty plastic potting mix bag. I lined the the wire frame with the coffee bag first - so it would look good from the outside. However, that would have soon rotted so I lined it with the potting mix bag, cut a few holes in the bottom and trimmed them both around the top. Second set of pictures.

Both are working well although next time I'd leave a little more overhang at the top.
