I have a large tree stump outside in the yard that I use to display potted plants on. Last week, it was raining and the wind blew hard enough to knock my planter over and cause it to break. Boo-hoo! I went searching for a replacement, but didn't find anything within my budget that I liked. But that didn't stop me! I created my own using inexpensive supplies for a cheap garden accent.
You're done! Fill with soil and add plants.
Supplies used:
metal can
rocks(purchased at Dollar Tree)
moss covered rocks(purchased at Dollar Tree)
glue gun
Squeeze a large amount of glue onto rocks then place rocks onto metal can. Fill in gaps with moss cut into small pieces. Sheet moss would work best, but the Dollar tree near me was all out.I think it turned out OK, no?
I placed my finished planter outside with hope that it will survive our next rainstorm.
