Read on below and discover what you can use as a plant container.

My all-out favorite project is the five pairs of jeans. They are stuffed with potting mix and planted with pointy grasses that grow up from the waist. It?s like having five spiky friends leaning on your balcony, ready to sip a beer. Maybe they would prefer green water? This is near perfect, but I might add a dash of color with a red bandanna in one of the pockets and maybe a pair of silver spurs. A few more details would make this droll concept pop with color and sparkle.

A yellow chrysanthemum pokes from a hole in this pair of well-worn boots that have been transformed into a rustic planter. There?s plenty of space for potting mix in the cuffed uppers, while the sole flaps lose to provide drainage.

2. Rusty Trough Sets Off Colorful Blossoms

Rusty and spotted with verdigris, this old metal trough contrasts nicely with the red and white flowers and the purple coleus leaves. Spiky blooms and pointy leaves look like firecrackers shooting skyward from the earthy container.
