Transforming everyday items into stunning planters is one of my favorite DIY projects. With a little imagination and some Dollar Tree finds, you can create unique planters that brighten up any space.
Charming Basket Planters
Use woven baskets as charming planters, lining them with plastic to retain moisture. They’re great for adding texture to any room.
Quirky Toy Planters
Repurpose old plastic toys as whimsical planters. A quick spray of paint can turn dinosaurs or trucks into quirky garden friends.
Decorative Watering Can Planters
Turn decorative watering cans into quirky planters. They add a whimsical touch to any garden or patio.
Elegant Glass Bowl Terrariums
I adore using glass bowls from Dollar Tree as terrariums. Fill them with layers of sand, pebbles, and small plants for a miniature landscape.
Upcycled Tin Planters
Give old tin containers a new lease on life by using them as unique planters. A coat of chalk paint can add a vintage touch.
Adorable Teacup Gardens
Teacups make adorable mini gardens. They’re perfect for displaying small flowers or herbs on a cozy windowsill.
Rustic Mason Jar Planters
Turn mason jars into rustic planters by wrapping them with twine or burlap. They’re perfect for herbs on a kitchen windowsill!
Vintage Colander Planters
Turn a vintage colander into a planter by lining it with moss. The built-in drainage is perfect for plants!
Chic Candle Holder Planters
One of my go-to tricks is turning candle holders into elegant mini-planters. Just add a touch of paint and your favorite succulents for a stylish look that’s perfect for small spaces.
Floating Shelf Gardens
Mount floating shelves and fill them with small planters for a vertical garden effect. They’re ideal for small apartments.
Painted Rock Gardens
Collect rocks and paint them in vibrant colors to use as decorative elements around small planters. It’s a fun project for all ages.
Sleek Metal Can Planters
Reusing metal cans is a great way to create sleek, industrial-style planters. Just remove the labels and add some succulents or cacti.
Tiered Tray Garden
Stacking Dollar Tree trays can create a charming tiered garden. Simply glue them together, paint if desired, and fill each level with small potted plants.
Wooden Crate Herb Box
A small wooden crate is perfect for an herb garden. I like to line mine with plastic and plant basil, mint, and parsley for easy access.
Colorful Painted Pots
A simple coat of bright paint can transform plain pots into vibrant accents. I often use stencils for fun patterns that add personality.
Ladder Plant Display
Use a small ladder as a display for multiple planters. It creates a tiered effect that showcases each plant beautifully.
