I was able to make these two planters with all scrap materials! Putting the florals together definitely made me more nervous than building the planter but I set out to The Growing Place Garden Center to get started! I picked out all the florals by finding colors I loved together and love how it turned out.
I had saved a dresser top from a recent flip and cut it down to make the box but you could use plywood for this step.
For the boxes I simply used the speed square tool to build a square to place around the planter pot. The pot is 16” so I made sure my box would be able to fit around it by making the measurements 17”
My original idea was to rip plywood down to create a modern slats across the box but then I discovered I had leftover beadboard! This planter project was able to be made 100% by scrap materials I had on hand.
I ran out of wood filler and ended up being able to use tan siding sealant I had on hand!
What do you think? Are you more confident with plants or DIY?
