DIY OLD FLORAL PLANTER MAKEOVER - HEAD TO GRANDMAS!

Today I did a really quick and easy transformation on a run of the mill, piled in boxes at flea markets and overflowing in your grandmas attic item....Old Floral Planter.

Yes, Just an average ceramic floral planter - your grandma likely has tons of them that still have the green floral block inside them. There are in abundance everywhere I go and I always comb through them to find more unique shapes or textures. I scored this one for .25 cent at a local thrift store!

I couldn't wait to get it home and give it a new life! The awesome thing about Annie Sloan Chalkpaint is that it adheres to any surface with no sanding or prep work - this includes plastic, glass and ceramic, making it perfect to give new life to old vases and planters pieces.

I did a quick coat of Old Ochre (dries in less than 2 hours too!) on the planter and a coat of Graphite on this little wood embellishment. I might dry brush it or dark wax a bit to bring more depth out of it later...still undecided.

Then I grabbed my hot glue gun, attached...and voila! New life for an outdated avocado green ceramic planter.

I had this moss covered topiary leftover from another project and it seemed the perfect size for this planter.

Another "Little Thing" that does not require the crafty gene :D

What do you think?
