Planters Deanna

[Guest guest]

Hi Deanna-do you place the pot down in the boot? What type plant since

the cowboy boot is so tall? I'm trying to picture this clever idea. I

found an old jello mold and I'm going to try that one today, doesn't

everyone have a jello mold just sitting around doing nothing? lOl

-Chelsea,

I STUFF the boots with potting soil. Especially careful to stuff the

toe. If there are separations in the soles and uppers it works good

for drainage. I also make slits in the toes of the boots and place

small plants in them. The plants depend on the person that I am

making them for. I often plant cowboy boots with cactus or

succulents . Hens and Chicks are my favorite. Boots make great herb

planters. The boots can also be hung with a macrame hanger(great

thrift store finds) Old work boots work great too with

plants,especially herbs. Another idea for using grandpa's old hat or

granmother's garden hat is to use it as a planter. These would

require a pot being placed inside. What a lovely way to remember a

dear relative or loved one. No end to recycle and thrift store finds.
