    Talking GREAT planters

    Do you have old cowboy or cowgirl boots ...they make GREAT planters
    All you do is cut a hole out of the top of the boot and block off the bottom except by that hole with something stiff, fill the hole with potting soil and then plant some flowers. They look GREAT out on a patio or in the corner of a home. The older the boot the more class the potter has.

    My Mom does this! It looks really cute with some succulants in it, I forget the name, but they trail down the sides.

    I have also used kids sand pails...I just have hubby drill some holes in the bottom and plant away. Another thing I have seen people use as planters is old toilets!!! They look really nice with all the plants & they are definitely a conversation starter !
