DIY Spring Boot Planter

Check out a quick one minute video on how we made our boot planter.

I was looking for an easy way to spruce up our small porch for spring after a long and drab winter. After rummaging through our garage and finding this bright yellow rainboot, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

This spring boot planter takes about five minutes to put together. It is not expensive at all, and it provides that perfect pop of spring color!

• Fill the rain boot with potting soil. (If you are felling extra ambitious, you could drill some drainage holes into the bottom of the shoes.)
• Make sure to pack the base of the boot tightly with dirt so it supports the weight of the leg once it’s filled with dirt.
• Dig a hole in the dirt and plant your spring flowers. I planted daffodils and purple violas. The purple and yellow compliment each other perfectly! (I am also hoping that they will return next spring without having to replant anything!)
• Water your plants and place them outside on your porch. If you have room, you could do both boots to make a pair or even add more items filled with flowers such as wagons or watering cans.

I hope you enjoyed this super easy tutorial. This is an incredible way to welcome spring, be creative and show your style while staying on a budget and saving tons of time!
