Takes just:

How to do it
-
Cut a piece of tape that's long enough to fit around your pot then, using the pinking shears, cut a decorative edging along one side. -
Carefully stick the tape just below the rim of the pot. Remove a little bit of the backing at a time, smoothing out any creases as you go.
"Try salads in a pot decorated with this copper tape - it'll give slugs a run for their money and you'll have luscious leaves."
