My husband is the talent behind these
planters. He purchased cedar planks from his
favorite store in the entire world.
Directions For Cedar Planters
1. Measure and cut the cedar planks to
resemble a picket fence. You could make
these any size you would like. Using a nail
gun or a hammer and nails attach the cut
pieces together.
pieces together.
2. Insert desired size of plastic flower pot
into the base created.
3. Attach wooden dowel.
4. Add decorative moulding.
I wanted them to have a weathered look so
I applied a very light coat of white paint.
Over the top of the paint I rubbed in Minwax
Jacobean Stain.
I was torn between planting a trailing vine
or compact flowers. I chose Pentas and
Begonias.
I still think I will add a vine, maybe ivy.
Because of their size, they seem a bit
bare to me.
What is on your Summer wish list?

ReplyDeleteHi Jemma,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful planters filled with pretty petals! Yes, I think the ivy would add some texture. These planters remind me fences, what a bonus that you can move them around! Enjoy them and happy 4th!
