Do you love having cute pots and tables adorned with plants to decorate your patio? Well, I have 36 awesome outdoor planters that you will love. From succulents to flowers, anything can go in your planter. These projects make excellent gifts too. For example, you can give the rope wrapped pots to your friends for their birthday. I moved last summer and I wasn’t used to having a big backyard so it was really empty. I bought a couch but it still wasn’t enough. I came across these fun tutorials and I got the pots and rope at the dollar store. Not only were my planters cute but I was also growing basil and oregano that I could cook with. Enjoy these step by step instructions that teach you how to make your very own outdoor planters.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
