Recycled Garden Planter Ideas

 

Instead of throwing it away, reuse it and make something incredible out of it. For example, an old chandelier is easily turned into a beautiful planter, while tin cans can be painted to make fun decorations to hang from trees.

 

 

Flower Fan

Have an old ceiling fan that you are going to throw away? Paint it like a flower, connect it to a post, and hammer it into the ground.

 

Wine Bottle Planter

You can extend this concept to any size, depending on how many bottles you have available to you.

 

 

Solar Light Stands

The easiest way to make these is to use old table legs. You can spray paint them your chosen color and hot glue solar lights to the top. This will really make your outdoor space look bright and cheerful.

 

 

Old Tin Flower Pots

Tin cans are plentiful and make for a great planter for your plants. Attach them to a wooden post to make an excellent display.

 

 

Flower Candlesticks

If you have an old chandelier, why not transform it into this stunning piece for your yard? You can glue it to an old wooden stand and then spray paint it. It’s a really quirky and whimsical addition to your decor.

 

 

Flower Stand From an Old Door

An old door can be transformed easily into a fantastic flower pot stand. Simply saw it in half for the back of the chair, two sides for the arms, and a piece for the seat.

 

 

 

 

 

Plate Flower

Basically, you combine a plate, a medium bowl, and a tiny bowl to paint and decorate into any type of flower you like.

 

 

Flower Pot Pan

An old pot or pan is only one step away from being a lovely flower pot. In this example, a paella pan is repurposed into something simple and effective.

 

 

Pallet Hanging Garden

Pallets are a great go-to for any type of craft for the garden. Add hooks to hang hanging planters from. You could also paint the pallet a nice bright color to make it stand out.

Even old kitchen items can be recycled for your yard. This is a sieve-turned-planter that adds a bit of rustic charm.
