How To Make An Awesome Vintage Planter

Hey guys! This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, so I thought I just share a tiny little home project with you.

I wanted to turn this very awesome Dr Pepper metal cooler into a planter to go with our vintage themed furniture on our front porch.

So here's how I did it.


1. First I gathered all of my supplies.  My vintage a Dr Pepper metal cooler, a piece  of wood that I had Lowe's cut up for me at various links, and my plants that I just bought the garden center at Walmart.

2. I took the various lengths of wood and layered them inside of the metal cooler to lift the pots that the plants are in. 

And that's pretty much it! 

I did end up realizing that I needed more wood to make the base inside the cooler a bit more stable. I bought a piece of wood for about $2.17 at Lowes and had them cut it for me - super cheap!

However, since we don't plan on having any more little Sailors running around, we decided it would be the very best to get him fixed. We also did it for health reasons.  Anyway - since I am feeling somewhat guilty for putting the little guy through such a traumatic ordeal, I thought it'd be nice to do a little giveaway. YAY !
