 Rain Boot Flower Vase

 Rain Boot Flower Vase

If you have rain boots that no longer fit you, then instead of throwing them out, you can use them as flowerpots. On the soles of the boot, drill a few holes and add some soil into it. Plant the seeds of your favorite flower and watch your plant grow right in front of your eyes. You can paint the boots and make a special design or leave it the way it is.

Old window shutter for hanging pots

For the entrance of your house, you can enhance the look of it by placing a few pots, but there is a small twist to it. Instead of just going ahead and putting pots on the ground, you can use an old window shutter and hang the pots one after the other by using a steel thread or twine. This can be placed right near the front door or even towards the entrance of the garage.

Artificial Grass for your walking path

If you do not like to get your hands dirty with natural mud, then you can always opt for the artificial one. You can also create an artificial garden by placing artificial flowers and making it look like a real one. For this project, all you need to do is arrange a few old tires and place the artificial grass inside them. Then you can either put some small pots with flowers in between or just use a sponge to stick them. Make sure you fill in the space well so that it looks like a proper garden.

The brick wall garden

Another beautiful idea for your garden project would be to take bricks and place them in a beautiful layout. You can place pots on these bricks and get a nice wall garden. To add that special touch to it, you can also be creative and place a medium sized fountain or run some lights all across. This will be perfect for the front porch or entrance or even in the living area of your house.

Create a wall garden with plastic bottles

Another perfect idea for a gardening project will be the use of old plastic bottles as flowerpots. For that, you need to take a few 2-liter bottles and cut them into half. Then using the side that has the cap, you can fill some soil into it and plant different flower seeds in it. You can also buy plants from the nursery and place them in the bottles. To hang the bottles or create a ladder look, use a thread or twine and create a vertical garden by tying them one after the other.

 

Planter made with old bags and shoes

Instead of throwing out old bags and shoes, you can use them to create a unique looking garden. For this project, all you need is your old handbag or shoes, some soil and a few flower pods. You can create a new look by using fabric paints to design or color the bag or shoe. Then add some soil and the flower pods in it and place them wherever you want.

Mason jar garden idea

For indoors, the Mason jar garden idea will be perfect. For this project, all you have to do is take different sized mason jars and add some soil into them. Then you should plant the plants or flowers that you want to keep. If your jar is of a bigger size, you can decorate it with small sized garden decorations or even pebbles and marbles.
