There are many people who have brought out their creativity with these pallets, creating all kinds of things. That is why we are going to see how great flower pots with pallets are created, a new idea to renew these wooden pieces.
If you like crafts and take advantage of materialsSurely you have thought that you can do many things with the great pallets. In this case, we are going to see how some pallets can also be converted into large flowerpots for our garden, the terrace or other areas of the home.
Why use pallets for planter boxes
The pallets have proven to be a truly versatile piece for home decoration. In recent years, recycling materials has become very important to take advantage of the things we have and avoid excess consumerism. In addition, with the crisis the ingenuity of many people was sharpened and that is why this type of ideas arose. So if you have one or more pallets you should know that you can do many things with them, such as planters for your terrace or garden. It is a carefree, fun and very versatile idea that is also not too expensive.
Floor planters
If you would like to use the pallets for a garden that is large in which you want to plant for example lettuce or strawberries, you can do it by putting them on the ground. The pallets on the ground serve to divide that small plantation. You can bury them a little in the ground or add the soil inside and then plant everything. This way you will have the plantations well separated and divided. It looks very good and the work in this case is minimal, so it is a great recommendation. But it only works for large gardens where we want to plant things.
Vertical planters with soil inside
This is one of the variants that you can do with pallets. You have to use plastic tarp and burlap cloth to insulate the area inside the pallet and thus be able to add soil in this area. A good stapler and scissors are also necessary. The fabric should be placed on the inside at the front, which is where the plants will be placed. If the pallet is lifted, the upper part must be left uncovered because the earth will get there. On the sides and the back we will cover with the plastic canvas. It is filled with soil and substrate for the plants. With the scissors we are making the holes to put the plants or flowers.
Pallets as vertical planters
This is another idea that tends to like a lot. I know use a pallet from the back to make a planter area vertically. This is perfect for balconies, as we don't have a lot of space to add plants, or for a terrace. We can take advantage of the walls to leave the pots and the pallet will make the plant area stand out much more than if we only put the pots. For this you will take advantage of the wooden feet that they have in the back area. You have to add some slats at the bottom so that when lifting the pallet and placing it vertically, the pots will hold, but it is another project that only needs a minimal touch-up. By using some wooden slats that we may have to cut and glue to glue them, we will have our large planter.
Planter in the front area
Another way to make a vertical planter with slatted area at the front of the pallet is by drilling holes with a drill and adding pot holders in different areas. It is another way of making a planter and also showing the pots. The ideas are quite simple and it allows us to add more pots than if we only used the back area.
Paint the pallet to make it more original
Although pallets in their wooden style are very beautifulThere are also many people who paint them to give them a totally different touch. This wood must be treated. It is sanded and given a fungicidal and insecticidal treatment. If we are going to paint it, we can add a primer to make the paint look better. It is better to use multipurpose paint which is quite resistant. You can paint the pallet as well as the pots to create a matching planter set.
Another idea is that paint the slats in one or more colors, mixing them with the natural tone of the wood. Some also use templates to decorate the wood, adding words or shapes to the wood. There are as many ideas as creativity you have. These pallets can be turned into large floor or vertical planters with functional and very versatile ideas for your home.
