Rain boots are a very handy thing to own – that is, until the day they spring a leak! Once they’re no longer useful for jumping in puddles, what can you do with them? (Besides give them a creative repair!) Rosina from Rosy ~ Posy turned a few pairs into whimsical planters! Hers are mounted to her front gate, greeting visitors and instantly making them smile. If you don’t have a spare pair laying around that you can pack full of soil, check out your local thrift stores. Since children outgrow them so quickly, they are a fairly easy-to-find secondhand item. [how to make hanging rain boot planters]
Project estimate:
- Old rain boots, on hand or about $3 and up
- Drill, on hand
- Cup hooks, on hand or about $0.15 each
Total: Free and up
