Coffe-mate container before the transformation |
These drainage holes were made using nails, but I made bigger ones with a drill |
Painted red and blue |
Not quite the best designer...but solid color was a little boring so tried to add a little bit more |
Using empty chinese take out container as planter saucer. Swiss chard transplanted in recycled planter. |
Update: Acrylic paint is not weather resistant. It rained and now the paint has bunched up. Since it did not peel off, I am going to try to put a clear water resistant film over it. Need to do a little research to see what is safe.
Oh, great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteSo pretty! I want one too:).
ReplyDeleteit might be a fun project to do with your son!
DeleteThis is a fantastic idea. I think my neighbor hates that I use old kitty litter buckets because they're not aesthetically appealing. Maybe I'll give them a once over with some paint, and hopefully, they won't comment on them too much. Make them nice and colorful!
ReplyDeleteIt does brighten up the garden. I also find painting quite meditative...almost like gardening!
