Tiered Planter
Posted in Crafts on 07/08/2011 07:16 am by DonnaWhile browsing my way through Blogland, I came across this lovely site Love Sweet Love. Angela is a bundle of talent and she created a cute tiered planter that another blogger, I Am Momma Hear Me Roar, inspired her to make. I loved it and quickly pinned it to my Pinterest Outdoor Living Board. A few Friday’s ago on my off day from work, I decided to make my own tiered planter. I wanted to use materials I had on hand, and I used pots that have been sitting under my deck. This was a low cost project for me since I had all the materials to create the planter. I made a quick trip to Home Depot where I purchased the flowers.
I choose three different size pots and used a few old bricks for stacking the pots.
I set the pots up using the bricks to give them height.
A few coats of spray paint from my collection of spray paint. Yes, I have a spray paint collection. I am sure most crafters do!
I filled the pots with planting soil and flowers.
I used Creepy Jenny as the spiller. Angela gave a great tip about using thrillers, spillers, and fillers.
I used Salvia for the top pot thriller and used Zinna as the filler. These were the best priced and they are hearty flowers that will last through the summer.
Here it is! Sitting pretty. Thanks to Love Sweet Love for the inspiration. If you have old pots sitting around, try this! Super easy, very inexpensive, and a cute display!
It’s all good. ~ Donna

Very nice, Donna! Love your flower choices. Amy @ Positively Splendid did something similar on her blog as well. It’s fun to see the same basic project done with each owners individuality! Thanks for passing on the inspiration!

Your planter looks great! I made one of these years ago and enjoyed it so much. I had forgotten all about it until I saw your picture. (The reason I quit using it was the bottom pot broke.) I may have to do this again.
I’m visiting from Amanda’s party.

Donna, I am so flattered and I am SO in love with the way yours turned out-beautiful!!! Thank you so much for letting me know so I could come check it out! Great choices on the flowers-mine are already dying (we went out of town for a week) so I think next year I’ll try flowers that are little more “hearty”! Love Love Love it!
