WW DIY: Transform a simple bucket into a pretty planter!

Turn an old galvanized pail or tub into a pretty enameled planter that will add color to any corner of your patio. Here’s how:

What you’ll need:

❏ Light blue spray paint ❏ Jute ❏ Power drill ❏ Plastic pots of blooms

Prepare the pail 1

Apply two light coats of spray paint to pail; let dry fully. Drill two small holes 3" apart near the rim of the pail. Drill two more holes directly across the pail.

Fill it with flowers 2

Thread an 8" length of jute through the holes on one side and knot to form a handle; repeat on other side. Add soil to pail, slip blooms out of their pots and tuck roots into soil.
