12 Cute Planters You Can DIY at Home
1) Hanging Brass
Add a little Finland to your home with these brass geometric planters, inspired by the intricate Finnish himmeli sculptures. Make this DIY from Nalle's House in no time at all using only brass tubing and wire, a pipe cutter, and your favorite simple planter.
2) Terrazzo
Get this year's trendiest material with a paintbrush and a neutral toned planter. Concrete, plaster, and cement bases are all perfect for painting the confetti-like shapes in the color palette of your choice. Stick to neutrals for a timeless look or bring in peaches and blue for an 80s flair.
3) Colorblocked
Colorblocking is far from passé — just look at these sweet pink, gold, and white planters from The Proper Blog. Something that's so easy to do should never go out of style.
4) Hanging Basket
Turn that spare basket into a hanging planter in just a few steps. All you'll need is some rope and a knife. Poke three holes under the first few weaves, being sure you're not cut the pieces that tie together. Thread the rope through and tie-off. Braid the strings for a macramé moment or leave as is for a minimal look. Add a grower pot to keep the roots from growing into your basket and hang!
5) Concrete & Silver Leaf
Add some style to your dull concrete planter with silver leaf, like this glam geometric-inspired one from For the Makers. It's the perfect neutral base for bold, leafy plants.
6) Magnetic Spice Tin
Repurposed spice tins are perfect for planting starter sprouts and smaller succulents. After cleaning out residue, paint them in the desired color or pattern and hot glue magnets to the back.
