DIY Tuesday: Mum!

It doesn't feel like fall until I have a mum plant greeting me when I get home. Here's how I got a big planter for cheap and filled it with flowers! 

I spotted this GIANT brass bucket container thing at goodwill. It was mine. 

I (really my husband) punched holes in the bottom of the container to allow for drainage. 

I filled it full of dirt and then plopped two mum plants in there. 

Voila! 

I think that the container will tarnish a bit when it's exposed to weather, and I like that. 

The point of this post is to remind you to think outside of the box! Try and see the potential for things while you are shopping. 

Have a great day!
