Large plastic trash baskets can work well. Just poke/drill a few holes in the bottom and then add some styrofoam scraps and then your plant with a good amount of soil.

Materials for a planter depend on budget and where you live... here in Arizona plastic is not practical for longevity.. ceramic is really expensive for anything very large and once broken the investment is literally trash... wood is a good option.. with maintenance... here is a good, inexpensive option... I would put them on plant dollys to be able to move them around easily
Also... vegetables or dwarf citrus can be beautiful and practical... something to consider

The coffee or creamer cannisters would be good. Use Valspar spray paint and they’ll look great! 👍
