DIY Thursday: 10 Creative Upcycled Planters for Earth Day
PAMELA NGUYEN APRIL 4, 2013 1
We’d like to think we have a healthy obsession for planters. Whether you have space for an outdoor garden or have to settle to liven up your indoors, planters provide the necessary versatility. And you can use anything, really, as planters. That’s the best part! Upcycled planters not only bring an eclectic (and colorful) appeal to your garden but also cleverly reuse random household objects you’d otherwise throw away!
We scoured the web for creative and unique ways people have made their own planters. Check out our 10 favorite DIY planters below:
