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.
Perfect! And, YES, free is awesome! That chair with the red flower is perfectly lovely for your front porch. <3

Thank you so much Sherri!
DeleteI love the idea, I have 4 similar chairs right now and just may use your idea. Pinning for sure :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. I'd love to see what you do with yours if you make one!
DeleteI have two in my garage right now that came from my grandmother's house and I just need the time to make them into planters. I love how simple and pretty yours is.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennie. I love using pieces with family memories. I was just recently given my grandmothers picnic basket and I want to clean it up and use it inside to hold a plant.
DeleteSo do just set the plant on the burlap and not in a pot?!
ReplyDeleteThis is a creative way to upcycle an old chair.
