Using Bird Cages As Outdoor Planters

Total Time: 2 hours

Yield: 5

Supplies:

• 3 bird cages
• 3 flower pots
• 4 flowers
• 1 soil
• 2 spray paint
• 1 glue gun
• 1 drill
• 1 moss (optional)

Steps:

1. If painting your bird cages, make sure it is cleaned first. With spray paint, cover, and allow to dry.

 

 
2. For my large cage I chose to use a coconut liner as a pot. It fits snugly and allows plantings to look nice and drain well. Fill half way with soil, then add plantings, water, and display.

 

 

 

 
3. For the terra cotta pot I glued the moss around the pot below the rim.
