Potted: Make Your Own Stylish Garden Containers

Hand-made style for outdoor living
 
Outdoor style often comes at a high price, but it doesn’t have to! This lushly designed guide empowers you to create your own show-stopping containers made from everyday materials such as concrete, plastic, metal, terracotta, rope, driftwood, and fabric. The 23 step-by-step projects are affordable, and most importantly, gorgeous. They include new spins on old favorites, like the cinderblock garden and hanging planters made from enamelware bowls, along with never-before-seen ideas like a chimney flue planter and wall planters made from paint cans. Packed with color photographs and simple instruction, Potted will help you turn your outdoor space into a stylish oasis.
