1. Stacked Planters
via homejelly.com
For this project you need 3 terra cotta pots (large, medium and small), 2 – 3 plastic pots, tray for future water drainage, outdoor paint, 1 large and 1 small painting brush, 1 roll painter’s tape, power drill, exacto knife, small scissors, plants and flowers. Clean the pots, place them onto plastic pots and start painting them, but just from the outside. Let them dry, and in the meantime prit whatever you want your pots to “say”. Use exacto knife to cut out the letters and use small scissors wherever you think you need them. Adhere the stencil to the pots with painter’s tape and hand – print the letters. Drill few small holes on the bottom to allow water drainage. Place the pots onto each other, with the large one on the bottom and place in each a plastic pot with the bottom of it facing upwards.

Reusing old bottles is a great idea, and using them as your planters is even greater. For this project you’ll need 16 soda bottles and drill every bottle in the cap to allow water drainage. Wash the bottles, tore the label off and cut their bottom, again using the drill, but this time to make two holes from the sides. Tie each bottle to a fence or wooden shipping pallet with twine, which later you can trim to make things prettier. Fill the bottles with soil and pretty plants
3. Faux Leather Hanging Planters

Before you start this project, make sure you have faux leather, scissors, double-sided tape, bowl or cup, utility knife, sewing machine, single hole punch, eyelet set, hammer and rope. Start by cutting two 35 cm by 35 cm faux-leather squares and place them on cutting mat with the non – shiny side up. Here stick four stripes double – sided tape on each side of the leather squares. Place second square on top of the first one, making sure the non – shiny sides touch. Cut rounded corners and sew around the edges. Punch a hole in each corner and insert eyelets. Next step is threading four even lengths of rope through each eyelet and tie the ends. Hold all four together and tie a knot halfway up. Last step is adding the soil and the plants.
4. Vertical Garden in 3 Easy Steps

It looks super adorable, doesn’t it? You can easily have this in your garden as well. Use a premade 6 foot handrail. You can add a coat of exterior stain or colored paint would look nice, but if you wish you can leave it like that. Choose pots with lip or pots that already have hanging hardware, and wrap a twine three times around the outside of the lip and tie a knot. Make a one inch loop and tie it off. Hammer nails into the rugs where you want to hang the pots and hook the loops over them. If your pot is small, one nail should do the trick; if not, just hammer another nail and that’s just basically it.
5. Easy Vertical Garden

Another quite easy project, but definitely good – looking and practical. Make sure you have wooden pallets as pictures and use tin cans as your planters. Always go for reusing old stuff! Paint the cans in desired colors and use drill to make small holes in the bottom for water drainage, and on the side, so that you can later hang them on the pallets. To do so, use “s” hooks and a hanging hardware that will go according your needs. Last from the steps is filling the cans with soil and flowers.
