Basket Planter

I love Pinterest, what a time wasting app that is full of amazing ideas. Today’s inspired project, upcycling a chair and basket into a planter. 


I gathered an old chair and an unused basket and painted them white. 

After they dried I spread a garbage bag in the basket as a liner and poked a few holes in it for drainage. I put a layer of bark chips in the bottom before topping with a sand and potting mix combo. 



The finishing touch was to plant flowers - dahlia, fuchsia and a geranium. 


Daisy and pansy pot under the chair

Enjoy :)

Recycling Christmas Cards

What do you do with all the Christmas cards you receive each year?  
If you’re like me you don’t want to throw them out (sentimental reasons) but you also have nowhere to store them (practical reasons). Furthermore, what are you storing them for anyway? It’s not as if you’re going to drag them out and look at them again!
Further on from a previous post I am still recycling Christmas cards.

This year I ran out of Christmas tags for gifts, so I decided that I would upcycle our Christmas cards and turn them into tags for next years gifts.

I tore the cards in half and used my Sizzix Bigshot and tag stencils to create new tags.

With 2020 being the year it was I am preparing early for 2021. 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.
