Free Chair Turned into a Planter

Free is good right?   That's what I thought when I spotted an old chair outside of a thrift store with a sign that said FREE.   I kind of felt guilty taking it because I didn't purchase anything there that day, but I had great plans for that chair and couldn't help myself.  

 

I wanted to make it into a planter and it was the perfect chair for it.

It was missing the seat and it was already weathered.

 

 

 

 

I stapled a piece of old chicken wire into the seat area.

 

 

 

I tried to shape it into a bowl to hold the dirt.

 

 

 

Then I laid scrap pieces of burlap over the chicken wire to hold the dirt in

and also allow for water drainage.

 

 

 

Lastly, I added a pretty red verbena plant to match my red door.

 

 

 

Have you ever made a chair planter before?

 

 

 

If so, how did you make it?

I've seen so many different variations of chair planters.

To keep this simple and inexpensive, I used items I already had to make this one.
