Wall Planters...Revived!

by Mickey Baron

2 Materials

Rusty, Old....

wall planters revived , container gardening, gardening, repurposing upcycling, wall decor

1/2 off yellow tags at local thrift shop....

I can afford $1.75!

Step 1. Wash, scrub, & sand. Tape off the pretty scrolling...

Step 2. Used semi gloss black spray paint. Rust resistant, of course...

Step 3. Taped off the black & exposed the scrolling for my 2nd. color. Hammered pewter

Step 4. Added a little bling, (my personal touch)... Loctite on glass gems. Dry for 24 hrs.

Step 5. The fun part... Time to fill with flowers!

NOTE...So the deck wall isn't saturated every time I water these, I fill the coconut liner with a plastic bag to help hold in the water, & keep all that moisture away from the deck wall & spilling onto it. I've done it for yrs. every time I make up wall baskets, & it works like a dream.

How pretty for our deck this year. LOVE the finished product.

Mickey B. & Boo Boo When you used the plastic bag, did you only place it on wall side, or is the bag opened up for placing soil and plants?

Don't you get root rot from not having proper drainage ?

What is the green plant that looks like small springs of fern?

saw a recent post that if you use a disposable diaper in bottom it will hold moisture

Yes I tried that in some other planters. I don't think it works that well, but others may have had better experiences.
