DIY Umbrella Pole Planter

by Suzanne Dean

Have a great patio table but left with the umbrella pole in the center? Makes it hard to set the table with a beautiful centerpiece and store options can be pricey. Make your own with a bundt pan and outdoor spray paint and create your own custom centerpiece easily and cheaply! http://tinybitzofme.blogspot.com/2013/05/coral-me-happy.html

DIY Umbrella Pole Planter made with a bundt pan and spray paint!

Use an old or newly purchased bundt pan (metal or plastic) and spray paint it with outdoor paint (for metal & plastic). I gave my pan from Walmart, 3 light coats and then had my husband drill a few holes along bottom for drainage.

I filled it with some pebbles on the bottom for more drainage, then potting soil and plants of my choice. Now it makes a beautiful centerpiece for our table...in the CENTER of the table instead of to the side.

Table is now ready for guests and great dinner parties!
