Le Wood Pallet Planter, Dress up your Garden with Junk

Do you hang out behind warehouses?  Do you see lots of these stacked in piles?  Ever wonder what you could do with them?  The list is endless, I am certainly not the first to think of these cast offs in terms of furniture.  

Check out Donna from Funky Junk Interiors   

She is the bomb on using Wooden Pallets, like this one

This is my take on a Wood Pallet Redoux for Spring:

Start with Small Terra Cotta Pots, I went with 8, you can do however many you decide will look good hanging on our pallet.

I painted them cream with chalkboard paint around the rims

I did a dry brush finish on the pallet, with my free to me "Google Paint" 

I used a board from another Pallet as the support and hung it on a fence post

Then I drilled holes in the places where I wanted to hang the pots.  I used a screw and bolt to hold the pot in place.

 I used a masonry bit to drill holes in each pot.  I did it a bit lower than the rim so overtime, the pot wouldn't become weak from the hole to close to the rim.

Filled each pot with my favorite annuals, and voila, I have a new, "free to me" Garden wall hanging!

I marked with arrows how the support works, four long wood screws, straight into the fence post.  This piece isn't going anywhere until I decide to take it down.

I love the way it dresses up what was a blank space of fence, now when we dine at my "free to me" Plank Table

We will have something lovely to admire, besides each other......

DON'T FORGET TO COME BACK TOMORROW!!  IT IS FRIDAY'S REDOUX LINK UP PARTY!  LINK UP YOUR GREAT REDOUX.
