Salvaged Chair Garden Planter

I found an old rickety chair by the side of the road that was too unsteady for seating. So, what to do with it? Make it a planter! I cut out a hole in the seat to pop in a pot, then ...»
screwed pipe clamps into the back rests to hold mason jars with succulents. It's one of my favorite planters!

  • Japanese pagoda, I made with concrete and plastic pots as moulds. 10

  • This will become a path light. 1

The Japanese garden pagoda I built by using plastic plant pots and cement.

I collected plastic pots of different shapes and sizes, cut the bottoms off, slit them up one side and taped the slit back together. filled them with concrete and then removed the pot by ...»
removing the tape after they dried 24 hours. They are still a bit damp so you can do "wet carving" on them to make your forms more rounded or smoothe. I used rebar again as I had with the Polatems in my earlier post, or you could use conduit, and make them into lanterns. Be sure to put a hole in the middle of each piece so you can fit them over the rebar/conduit. The circular pieces I made by just rolling in my hands...other pieces can also be made such as a finial for the top, which I have yet to make and put on the top.

Our penny kitchen floor.

31,140 pennies, some grout, and a little sealant later, and we have a pretty cool kitchen floor. :) The pennies are all heads up, facing the same direction.
