Vintage Wooden Shoe Spring Planters

Vintage wooden shoes...what could be cuter? And they are super easy to repurpose into eclectic, quirky planters for a fun Spring vignette for your porch!
Don't forget to check out my original post for my secret way to water these dainty plants! It's the scientist in me, what can I say?
I wanted a quirky, sweet vignette on my front porch this Spring...so why not upcycle these vintage wooden shoes?
The heels already had hangers nailed in- perfect! So I salvaged some chippy wood from a home improvement project that we completed last summer, and hung the shoes from it!
Then, I added little dainty plants! And I even have the perfect way to water them without making a mess!
Don't they make the sweetest planters??
Make sure you check out my original tutorial for all the steps!
Suggested materials:
  • Wooden shoe   (Etsy)
  • Salvaged wood plank   (My stash! (Habitat ReStore is a great option, too))
  • Plants   (Garden Store)

    So smart but NM would dry them out. Do you oil wooden shoes sometimes?

    I have a pair of these clogs they belonged to my husbands mother they are about 60 years old I never knew what to do with them and I didn't want to throw them out so they were put in a box and put in the cupboard now I can hang them on the porch wall with plants in like you have thank you Sadie
