Make Old Chairs Into Planters

I can buy these old chairs for very little. The easiest thing I know to re-purpose them is to make them into planters. Here's a few examples:
I tried different options for making these chairs into planters. This one I stapled screen and old burlap to form a pot in the chair seat before adding flowers.
The easiest way to make a holder for the planter was to cut a piece of plywood the dimensions of the chair seat, then cut out a circle to drop in a flower pot like done in this chair.
This one didn't need any cutting and I used a pot to fit. Sorry, I couldn't find the picture of the plant in this really neat old rocking chair.
This one was made with screen and coconut husk liner.
I got lucky and this one had a wooden seat and only needed to cut a circle to fit the drop in planter. Now that was easiest of all!
Found this wire basket at the Restore, lined it with Spanish moss and plastic and filled it with the contents of a discounted hanging basket. I'm hoping it will be full and thriving by 4th of July.
