PAINTED METAL PLANTER
I see these little galvanized metal planters everywhere....JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, thrift stores and garden shops. But, usually they are plain, maybe a little too plain looking. I decided to cute one up a little.
This was a simple project. I taped off my planter so that I could paint a single stripe on the center.
I have a can of Krylon paint in a delicious Pistachio color. Perfect for springtime.
I also have a roll of flowery fabric lace. I'm not sure what it is, but it's a little stretchy. It came in a bag of lace and ribbon I got from my friend Loy at Grandma Loy's Kitchen when she visited me here at the farm last year. Again, perfect for springtime!
I wrapped it around the center stripe that I painted and attached it with a few glue dots. My little potted shamrock that I got for St. Patrick's Day fit perfectly inside it.
All springified and I can take that flowery lace off if I want a different look later on. You know me.....I will.

ReplyDeleteIt may be simple but it is absolutely adorable! I may have to copy you on this one...it's such a great look!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good idea! I love the color. I'm looking into doing/buying something like this for my wife. She's a big gardener and mentioned she wanted tall metal planters to hang from the backyard fence. I think she'd love something like this!
