Purse Planter

Recently guest posted this over at The Queen of My House and now I want to share it here with you.

When I saw this handbag in my sis in law's "to the thrift store pile" I had to have it. Not cause I really love handbags and it was cute and stylish, which it was.

But for this! I made it into a purse planter! Now how cute is that?!

I simply cut out the liner which allowed more room for the soil. Then I took an ice pick and poked drainage holes in the bottom of the purse (there was a leather bottom). Next I took a plastic shopping bag, cut the bottom off, then lined the purse. This way the moisture will be held in on the sides but cutting out the bottom will allow it to drain. Fill with soil and plants and ta da! You can even plant the pockets if you like!

Check it out, being all cute next to my bench!

Have you made any crazy planters lately?
