Sharing Some Repurposed Vintage Planters

Hello there!

It's fun to challenge yourself to use

 something in an unusual way.

I love to go thrifting and

 sometimes you can find things

that can be repurposed. 

I found this planter while thrifting-

I put a small piece of foam padding

in the base and now I can find

at least one pair of glasses!

A bowl of shiny- bright glass ornaments

would look nice.

I had some Christmas odds and ends

close by for now-

or

a place for the T.V. remotes

At Christmas time planters always look great

with some greenery .

My GRANDMA gave me this bear years ago.

For a long time it was filled with paint brushes

now a tree and some roses.

Here just a branch and a pinecone.

My Tin Christmas coasters fit nicely-

A great place to tuck some THANK YOU cards!

This pink car is always part of my

Spring decorating -

This baby buggy is decorated for 

'Baby's First Christmas'

I turned this planter in a Pin Cushion.

I had these small planters. 

I used some packing foam to fill the planters.

 I thought this couple would look great with a little tree

in their planter.

I unscrew the wood bases 

on the trees and the wire

 can be poked into the foam base.

I keep my beads

 in old apothecary jars with glass lids.

I used hot glue to attach

 some tinsel to the foam base

( In case I want to remove the decoration later )

I use this hole punch tool to hold the beads in place

so I don't get burned.

Push the beads deep into the tree.

These planters had a square base

 and when pushed together-

Now they make the sweetest little bookends !

They are staying at my house for now.

Have a great day!

Thanks for hanging out with me-
