family crafting: unique planter ideas

Posted August 1st, 2008 by kath_red

The month of August is Family Crafting and I can’t wait to start.

Kids love to garden and getting out in the dirt and sun is so healthy – here are some ideas for garden innovation with some unique planter ideas.

you grow girl features a planter made from a shopping cart

lime has a guide to making a self watering planter

giant jeans parlour has a tutorial on making a succulent garden from a bread tin (also featured on craftzine)

Nature moms has a great post on recycling stuff (like eggs shells, toilet rolls) to make mini mini garden pots.

check this tutorial on making origami newspaper seed containers [via tipnut]

checkout this fun recycled CD player – now a plant pot!

I do love an old boot used as a flower pot – and this one from flickr user Kathyis especially full of character.
