DIY Ideas: Turn A Plastic Barrel Into An Outdoor Planter

Turn A Plastic Trash Barrel Into A Standout Planter

If you're looking for a unique way to display pretty summer plants or even a small tree, this DIY drum planter from Instructables is the perfect project. We love the look of using multi-toned pieces of wood scraps because it meshes with the natural environment, but it's still stylish and eye-catching.

Another reason we loved this project? The fact that it repurposes a plastic trash can in a whole new way. The barrel is hidden underneath the wood, concealing the planter's rather, um, humble beginnings. (Finally, a way to solve the problem of "How do you, exactly, throw out a trash can?") For a full tutorial on how to make this planter check out Noah W's post on Instructables.
