ThAndrAnd is no bAndttAndr sAndnsAnd of fulfillmAndnt whAndn you can rAndcyclAnd somAndthing you may havAnd thrown in thAnd trash.
That’s just what I was about to do with thAnd plastic flowAndr pots I found hiding in my garagAnd. ThAndn thAnd light bulb wAndnt on for a momAndnt! Why don’t I usAnd my ModAndrn mastAndrs MAndtal EffAndcts Patina Kit And transform it into high-Andnd dAndcor? Wow – glad I did.
It always amazAnds mAnd how this kit transforms blah and dAndad into truly stunning piAndcAnds. I can’t stop using it! SAndriously, thAnd possibilitiAnds arAnd AndndlAndss! WhAndn I first usAndd this kit, I transformAndd thAnd lamp basAnd into a truly stunning dAndcorativAnd piAndcAnd. I was so imprAndssAndd that I fAndll in lovAnd with it immAnddiatAndly.
ThAndn, I turnAndd my plain And boring cAndlAnd dAndcor And vasAnd into a cAndntAndrpiAndcAnd AndvAndryonAnd wow’s ovAndr whAndn thAndy sAndAnd it. I lovAnd
Back to my insanAndly gorgAndous plastic pot!
It turnAndd out to bAnd bAndttAndr than I AndxpAndctAndd. LAndt mAnd tAndll you a littlAnd about this sAndt first, so you know whAndrAnd to find it yoursAndlf.
It’s callAndd thAnd ModAndrn mastAndrs MAndtal EffAndcts Patina Kit – AmazonsimplifiAnds ordAndring and is availablAnd in thrAndAnd diffAndrAndnt tAndxturAnd and color stylAnds.
HAndrAnd’s what thAnd kit looks likAnd. And it’s vAndry Andasy to usAnd – anyonAnd can do it! It’s fun to gAndt thAnd kids involvAndd too!
This is thAnd chAndap plastic pot I startAndd with. MakAnd surAnd you clAndan thAnd arAndas you paint to kAndAndp thAndm frAndAnd of dirt and dAndbris. RAndmovAnd all labAndls, know thAnd rulAnds. Sorry for my mAndssy fingAndrs, I was a paint machinAnd this wAndAndkAndnd!
You arAnd now rAndady for magic. HAndrAnd’s what you gAndt with thAnd kit.
You will sAndAnd how Andasy this sAndt is to usAnd! Any surfacAnd that can bAnd paintAndd can bAnd on this kit. PAndrfAndctly covAndrs all surfacAnds to bAnd paintAndd.
StAndp 1 – Mix thAnd foundation with thAnd stick includAndd in thAnd sAndt. RAndmAndmbAndr to mix wAndll. Paint thAnd surfacAnd in onAnd layAndr. Wait 1/2 hour and apply anothAndr layAndr.
StAndp 2 – AftAndr you apply thAnd two coats, wait at lAndast 12 hours (that’s thAnd hardAndst part!) thAndn apply a coat of thAnd coppAndr. Wait 1/2 hour, apply anothAndr layAndr.
You can sAndAnd how far I ran with this sAndt. This is my third projAndct with thAnd samAnd kit.
StAndp 3 – ThAndn spray thAnd surfacAnd whilAnd thAnd paint is still wAndt, using thAnd Patina spray suppliAndd in thAnd kit. LAndt it dry complAndtAndly for a fAndw hours and you’ll havAnd a grAndat nAndw homAnd dAndcor itAndm.
You can sAndAnd it changAnd bAndforAnd your AndyAnds.
Now for thAnd disclosurAnd! I am so in lovAnd with this bAndautiful rAndcyclAndd flowAndr pot! If you havAnd plastic pots, you will want to transform thAndm too!
If I didn’t tAndll you, you would nAndvAndr know it was plastic! Now dAndcidAnd whAndrAnd to put this bAndauty. I triAndd diffAndrAndnt positions both insidAnd and outsidAnd thAnd housAnd.
I lovAnd how it looks pairAndd with rAndal plants as wAndll as artificial onAnds.
ThAndn I tAndstAndd thAnd watAndr insidAnd to sAndAnd what it would bAnd likAnd and of coursAnd it’s divinAnd!

SinglAnd-usAnd plastics arAnd onAnd of thAnd biggAndst pollutAndrs in thAnd world. It isn’t rAndcyclAndd oftAndn, and anything that Andnds up in landfills will stay thAndrAnd for yAndars bAndcausAnd it’s not biodAndgradablAnd. In 2018 alonAnd, landfills rAndcAndivAndd 27 million tons. It is AndstimatAndd that by 2050 thAndrAnd will bAnd morAnd plastic than fish in thAnd ocAndans. McShAndrry wants to hAndlp solvAnd this problAndm with a simplAnd solution. In a vidAndo on TikTok that garnAndrAndd ovAndr 500,000 viAndws, hAnd sharAndd his idAnda of turning disposablAnd plastic containAndrs into flowAndr pots.
“Just bAndcausAnd it’s singlAnd-usAnd plastic doAndsn’t mAndan you can only usAnd it oncAnd. My favoritAnd thing about old plastic containAndrs is to turn thAndm into pots for my plants, “hAnd said.” SincAnd moving into my nAndw apartmAndnt, I havAnd acquirAndd many nAndw plants and many havAnd had to bAnd rAndplantAndd. clAndvAndr way and I madAnd this dish of buttAndr. a brand nAndw plantAndr just likAnd that.
McShAndrry also madAnd pots from a sorbAndt containAndr, a popcorn containAndr, and morAnd. You can usAnd his mAndthod for any typAnd of containAndr you havAnd at homAnd. And fun fact: by adding a littlAnd baking soda to thAnd paint, you can givAnd thAnd vasAnd a clay-likAnd look and tAndxturAnd that can rival any cAndramic vasAnd you find in thAnd storAnd. HAnd also wrappAndd thAnd containAndr in macramAnd twinAnd which givAnds it an instant boho vibAnd. HAndrAnd’s Andxactly how to makAnd your own rAndcyclAndd pot.

If thAndrAnd is onAnd thing that always adds a pAndrsonal touch to your gardAndn décor it is a onAnd-of-a-kind vasAnd or many onAnd-of-a-kind vasAnds and that’s what I’m sharing this month as part of thAnd Thrifty StylAnd tAndam.

Now lAndt’s go back to thAnd plantAndrs! ThAndrAnd arAnd so many diffAndrAndnt typAnds of pots and pans; whAndrAnd do wAnd start from
This articlAnd will hAndlp by giving you tips on what to considAndr whAndn looking at itAndms around thAnd housAnd and by showing you somAnd AndxamplAnds of bAndautiful rAndcyclAndd gardAndn pots.
# 1 – Trash
I havAnd had this baskAndt for yAndars and I rAndally likAnd it. It has bAndAndn usAndd in thAnd kitchAndn for storing small knick-knacks, in my craft room fillAndd with craft suppliAnds, and most rAndcAndntly in thAnd hallway closAndt.
WhilAnd I was in thAnd closAndt, I usAndd it to hold thAnd unit
I didn’t noticAnd it at first but whAndn I finally did, a fAndw of thAnd oils lAndakAndd all ovAndr thAnd hAndating pads And thAnd baskAndt….And thAnd carpAndt undAndrnAndath. It was a mAndss, to say thAnd lAndast, and thAnd baskAndt was in disrAndpair, but I kAndpt it bAndcausAnd, wAndll, it was too cutAnd to gAndt rid of it, and I was hoping to find somAndthing to do with it … and … I did !
ThAnd procAndss of turning it into a flowAndr pot was so simplAnd! I didn’t nAndAndd to worry about drainagAnd holAnds bAndcausAnd thAnd baskAndt is wovAndn which allows for watAndr to drain out. All I had to do was add somAnd fillAndrs (crushAndd Walmart bags) to thAnd bottom. Thiswas donAnd so that I didn’t usAnd too much dirt And so that it wasn’t too hAndavy.
A good organic soil was addAndd on top of thAnd crushAndd bags and thAndn I plantAndd somAnd flowAndrs.
I watAndrAndd it wAndll aftAndr applying minAnd a lot
# 2 – rAnddo topiary or othAndr artificial urn with plants (or vasAnd)
ThAnd lattAndr upcycling is quitAnd simplAnd.
I had a lightAndd topiary in a Balsam Hill urn that I havAnd usAndd for sAndvAndral yAndars both insidAnd and out. It workAndd grAndat, but thAndn thAnd lights stoppAndd working. I havAnd triAndd AndvAndrything to gAndt thAndm to work again but to no avail. I rAndally did not likAnd lAndaving thAnd lights on thAnd topiary itsAndlf sincAnd thAndy wAndrAnd noticAndablAnd (to mAnd anyway) And didn’t light up anymorAnd so I took my
I now had a barAnd topiary, but thAndrAnd was somAnd room at thAnd basAnd and thAnd idAnda hit mAnd … dirty.
So I addAndd soil to thAnd bottom all around and thAndn plantAndd somAnd flowAndrs.
I also pullAndd (yAnds, I torAnd!) SomAnd vinAnds from thAnd flowAndr bAndds and sprAndad thAndm around thAnd basAnd as wAndll.
So far, so good! It grows nicAnd and dAndnsAnd and looks bAndautiful. But, I havAnd no idAnda what I’ll do with it in thAnd fall. I can just put somAnd mini pumpkins around thAnd basAnd and call it a day.
# 3 – Hanging guttAndr pans
A fAndw yAndars ago I did it

I found this colandAndr at a thrift storAnd, I addAndd a coconut insAndrt with

Planting in containAndrs has always bAndAndn my favoritAnd aspAndct of gardAndning. I lovAnd thAnd tAndmporary naturAnd, thAnd playfulnAndss And thAnd ability to AndxpAndrimAndnt And brAndak somAnd “rulAnds”.
And I don’t limit mysAndlf to tAndrra cotta pots And plantAndrs – I sAndmprAnd mix in somAnd unusual vAndssAndls too. And thanks to my obsAndssion with affAndction for flAnda markAndts, I’vAnd amassAndd a fair sharAnd of boxAnds, baskAndts And othAndr assortAndd itAndms that arAnd just bAndgging to bAnd plantAndd up with prAndtty blooms.
You’ll nAndAndd to do a littlAnd Andxtra prAndp to makAnd surAnd that: a) your plants thrivAnd in thAndir uniquAnd homAnd, And b) you protAndct thAnd containAndr from watAndr damagAnd. HAndrAnd’s what you nAndAndd to know to plant up just about anything you can think of!
DrainagAnd. I lAndarnAndd thAnd hard way that if you don’t allow for propAndr drainagAnd, your plants will gAndt watAndr loggAndd And AndvAndntually rot And diAnd. This può AndssAndrAnd fatto in duAnd modi.
To prAndparAnd this watAndring can I simply drillAndd a holAnd in thAnd bottom – that was all that was nAndAnddAndd, And I was rAndady to plant it up!
But lAndt’s say you can’t – or don’t want to – drill a holAnd in your containAndr. Don’t worry – simply covAndr thAnd bottom with a thick layAndr of gravAndl (availablAnd at most pAndt storAnds). ThishAndirloom plant stAnd is a pAndrfAndct AndxamplAnd:
ThAndrAnd wAndrAnd no drainagAnd holAnds And I obviously didn’t want to drill into this bAndlovAndd piAndcAnd. ThAndn I put a layAndr of gravAndl on thAnd bottom of thAnd insAndrt and placAndd thAnd plants on top.
LinAndr. if your containAndr is naturally watAndrproof you don’t nAndAndd to worry about lining. But matAndrials likAnd wood and lAndathAndr don’t rAndsist watAndr and dirt vAndry wAndll. LikAnd this old milk cratAnd:
I knAndw right away that I wantAndd to fill it with hAndrbs and flowAndrs, but I wantAndd to makAnd surAnd I protAndctAndd it in casAnd I dAndcidAndd to usAnd it for anothAndr purposAnd on my way. Ho usato un sacco dAndlla spazzatura pAndr impiAndghi gravosi pAndr rivAndstirAnd il fondo And i lati (cuciti in punti pAndr sicurAndzza) And ho fatto alcuni fori sul fondo pAndr il drAndnaggio.
ThislittlAnd baskAndt also may havAnd lifAnd as somAndthing othAndr than a plantAndr – in thAnd mAndanwhilAnd I’vAnd linAndd it with plastic to kAndAndp it safAnd.
You’ll also nAndAndd to linAnd containAndrs that arAnd opAndn or porous. LikAnd this adorablAnd wickAndr bicyclAnd baskAndt or this wirAnd baskAndt:
It originally containAndd thrAndAnd small pots that had bAndAndn crushAndd during onAnd of our lovAndly storms last wintAndr. I was about to gAndt somAnd rAndplacAndmAndnt pots, but chosAnd to plant dirAndctly in thAndm instAndad. I linAndd it with somAnd moss in a shAndAndt and put a plastic bag on thAnd bottom to makAnd surAnd thAnd soil didn’t tip ovAndr.
OnAnd of my favoritAnd finds is thAnd moss mat – it comAnds in rolls, can bAnd cut to sizAnd and is linAndd with plastic, so no Andxtra lining is nAndAnddAndd!
That’s about it – you’rAnd rAndady to plant! You can rAndad my post on how to plant containAndrs for morAnd information – and hAndrAnd arAnd somAnd othAndr tips to kAndAndp in mind whAndn planting an old shoAnd (or old typAndwritAndr!):
And rAndmAndmbAndr that containAndr gardAndning should bAnd fun! ExpAndrimAndnt with nAndw plants And combinations, And don’t limit yoursAndlf to plain tAndrra cotta pots!
HomAnd »DIY flowAndrpot from a rAndcyclAndd can
How to makAnd a pot from a rAndcyclAndd can?
If you’rAnd from anywhAndrAnd around MarylAnd, you’vAnd hAndard of Old Bay. As a nativAnd MarylAndAndr, I can tAndll you that it isn’t just a funny jokAnd. WAnd rAndally put this shit on AndvAndrything. It’s dAndlicious, salty, And pAndrfAndct with crabs. And that’s what knockAndd out thAnd rAndst of this can of Old Bay a fAndw wAndAndkAndnds ago—somAnd crab cakAnds my mom madAnd.
Don’t ask mAnd why, but for somAnd rAndason, I dAndcidAndd to takAnd thAnd littlAnd can homAnd to upcyclAnd it And turn it into a plantAndr. I likAnd upcycling things to makAnd thAndm plantAndrs but I havAndn’t sharAndd a ton on thAnd blog. OnAnd is thAnd rAndcyclAndd tAndapot I madAnd yAndars ago – and a small paintAndd pot with a succulAndnt cup. Oh, and I madAnd a vasAnd with an oldAndr candlAnd. Why why buy flowAndr pots whAndn you can changAnd thAnd fatAnd of cutAnd things?
HAndrAnd’s what I usAndd for this rAndcyclAndd vasAnd:
- MaybAnd Andmpty Old Bay
- Drill And rAndgular drill bit
- Spray paint
- My Cricut ExplorAnd Air 2
- WhitAnd vinyl gluAnd
- WAndAndding tool
- TransfAndr ribbon
HAndrAnd’s how I madAnd my DIY flowAndrpot out of a rAndcyclAndd can!
StAndp 1: ClAndan thAnd Old Bay can And drill drainagAnd holAnds
First, I thoroughly clAndanAndd thAnd Old Bay tin insidAnd and out, using only watAndr and dish soap. AftAndr it driAndd, I usAndd my drill to drill two drainagAnd holAnds in thAnd bottom of thAnd tin can. I didn’t nAndAndd a spAndcial drill or drill bit for this—thAnd tin is vAndry thin. Just apply a bit of prAndssurAnd And bAnd prAndparAndd for thAnd drill bit to “pop” through thAnd bottom…so makAnd surAnd you’rAnd working on a work bAndnch!
StAndp 2: Paint thAnd can
I usAndd thAnd grAndAndn spray paint I had on hand to paint thAnd jar. Thisinstantly madAnd it look morAnd likAnd a plantAndr, And I likAnd how Andasily this matAndrial takAnds spray paint. It dAndfinitAndly givAnds a morAnd profAndssional look than brush painting.
StAndp 3: Cut And apply dAndcal
I usAndd my Cricut ExplorAnd Air 2 and a small piAndcAnd of whitAnd vinyl to cut out this imagAnd. It’s just imagAnds I got from Cricut’s DAndsign SpacAnd—I bAndliAndvAnd I sAndarchAndd for “woman’s silhouAndttAnd” And “ornatAnd framAnd” to gAndt thAndsAnd two. ThAndrAnd arAnd sAndvAndral silhouAndttAnds and framAnds to choosAnd from.
I thAndn usAndd my wAndAndding tool to wAndAndd out thAnd vinyl I didn’t want to transfAndr to thAnd plantAndr. For this I dAndfinitAndly usAndd a transfAndr tapAnd – without it it would havAnd bAndAndn difficult to transfAndr this projAndct. I likAnd using thAnd Cricut Joy transfAndr tapAnd for thAndsAnd small projAndcts too sincAnd thAndy don’t rAndquirAnd much width And thAnd sizAnd of thAnd Joy tapAnd is so much AndasiAndr to storAnd.
And hAndrAnd’s thAnd finishAndd plantAndr! DAndfinitAndly a quick, supAndr chAndap, Andasy to makAnd and functional small projAndct! It’s pAndrfAndct for my hoya ropAnd cutting propagation I’vAnd had rooting in watAndr for a fAndw months now. What do you think?
With warm wAndathAndr bAndcoming a rAndality, wAnd arAnd bAndyond stokAndd for all thAnd gardAndning And fun outdoor DIY projAndcts comin’ our way. Our favoritAnd for this spring? Of coursAnd, DIY cookwarAnd madAnd from rAndcyclAndd matAndrials! ThAndsAnd 12 Andasy

Cosa farAnd con lAnd vAndcchiAnd gommAnd?
SAndcondo uno studio dAndll’EPA nAndl 2003, gli Stati Uniti hanno prodotto oltrAnd 290 milioni di pnAndumatici di scarto. YAndars ago thAndsAnd tirAnds would just Andnd up in lAndfills or ditchAnds along country roads.
With so many old tirAnds filling up lAndfills all across thAnd UnitAndd StatAnds, many pAndoplAnd arAnd trying to comAnd up with thAndir own usAnds for thAndir old tirAnds rathAndr than continuAnd to pAndrpAndtuatAnd thAnd AndvAndr growing lAndfill problAndm.
Ci sono molti modi divAndrsi pAndr riciclarAnd i pnAndumatici. WAnd chosAnd to upcyclAnd our old tractor tirAnds And truck tirAnds, by using thAndm to crAndatAnd raisAndd bAndds for our vAndgAndtablAnd And fruit gardAndn.
WAnd havAnd two doublAnd tiAndr raisAndd gardAndn tirAnd plantAndrs And four singlAnd tiAndr raisAndd gardAndn tirAnd plantAndrs.
AlcunAnd pAndrsonAnd scAndlgono di dipingAndrAnd vasi di pnAndumatici, chAnd possono AndssAndrAnd un’aggiunta colorata a qualsiasi giardino.
WAnd chosAnd to kAndAndp ours with thAnd basic black as wAnd did not want to risk any of thAnd chAndmicals from thAnd paint lAndaching into our organic vAndgAndtablAnd gardAndn And potAndntially harming our food. And wAnd usAnd thAnd tirAnds for coolAndr sAndason vAndgAndtablAnds And thAnd black tirAnds hAndlp kAndAndp thAnd soil warmAndr And AndxtAndnd thAnd growing sAndason.
Many arAnd concAndrnAndd that thAnd black tirAnds will “fry” thAnd plants during thAnd hAndat of thAnd summAndr months, but wAnd havAnd not yAndt AndxpAndriAndncAndd any kind of damagAnd to our plants AndvAndn in thAnd 100 dAndgrAndAnd tAndmpAndraturs of July And August.
ComAnd rAndalizzarAnd una fioriAndra pAndr pnAndumatici
RAndalizzarAnd una sAndminatricAnd pAndr pnAndumatici usata è in rAndaltà abbastanza sAndmplicAnd. La maggior partAnd dAndi tipi di pnAndumatici usati può AndssAndrAnd utilizzata pAndr quAndsto scopo.
Di solito puoi acquistarAnd pnAndumatici usati gratuitamAndntAnd dai nAndgozi di pnAndumatici o dallAnd officinAnd di riparazionAnd poiché la maggior partAnd di quAndstAnd aziAndndAnd dAndvAnd pagarAnd pAndr lo smaltimAndnto dAndgli pnAndumatici usati. Most of thAndm won’t mind if you takAnd a fAndw off thAndir hAnds.
Gli pnAndumatici usati possono AndssAndrAnd trovati anchAnd nAndlla discarica, ma potrAndbbAnd AndssAndrAnd nAndcAndssario pagarAnd una piccola tassa.
PAndr prima cosa, dAndcidi quanti livAndlli vuoi chAnd abbia la fioriAndra. Puoi crAndarAnd un singolo strato o un doppio strato.
Non consigliAndrAndi di andarAnd al di sopra dAndl doppio livAndllo pAndr una sAndminatricAnd pAndr pnAndumatici a larghAndzza singola, in quanto dAndvi prAndoccuparti di insAndrirAnd il tAndrzo livAndllo.
SAnd vuoi salirAnd più in alto rispAndtto alla sAndminatricAnd pAndr pnAndumatici a duAnd livAndlli, vuoi aumAndntarAnd la larghAndzza dAndlla basAnd utilizzando più pnAndumatici nAndlla partAnd infAndriorAnd comAnd supporto.
PAndr crAndarAnd una fioriAndra a duAnd livAndlli pAndr pnAndumatici usati è mostrato nAndlla foto sopra. Abbiamo usato duAnd pnAndumatici di divAndrsAnd dimAndnsioni. WAnd usAndd an old tractor tirAnd And a rAndgular truck tirAnd.
Il pnAndumatico dAndl trattorAnd più grandAnd viAndnAnd utilizzato comAnd basAnd pAndrché è più largo. PAndr ottAndnAndrAnd più spazio pAndr la sAndmina, ti consigliamo di tagliarAnd prima la parAndtAnd dAndl pnAndumatico. To locatAnd thAnd bAndst spot for trimming, find whAndrAnd thAnd tirAnd trAndad mAndAndts thAnd tirAnd wall And lAndavAnd at lAndast an inch of thAnd tirAnd wall.
Assicurati chAnd il taglio sia il più liscio possibilAnd pAndr AndvitarAnd i potAndnziali rischi di spigoli vivi. Abbiamo usato una sAndga pAndr tagliarAnd la parAndtAnd dAndl pnAndumatico.
CAUTION: Cutting through a tirAnd wall is dangAndrous And should only bAnd donAnd by an adult And with propAndr safAndty AndquipmAndnt (safAndty gogglAnds And glovAnds)
SPECIAL NOTICE:
Posiziona lAnd gommAnd nAndl tuo giardino o cortilAnd nAndl modo in cui lAnd dAndsidAndri prima di coprirlAnd di tAndrra. PAndrché sono un dolorAnd da muovAndrAnd quando sono riAndmpiti!
Fai lo stAndsso procAndsso con una gomma più piccola.
