10 very original planters to create using recycling projects

Planters are always a fantastic all-rounder for decorating any garden or veranda, as they add color and beautifully decorate these spaces. Classical ones, populated with colorful flowers, can be spectacular, and if we add a touch of imagination and creativity to make them truly unique (using  recycled objects or other materials), our planters can become real works of art.

We have collected some amazing ideas for you to make consider for your planters. You could create a garden or a veranda that everyone will envy. Take a look at the ideas below:

Tin cans are a classic of the creative recycling world. Reusing those that contained paint as planters - perhaps leaving them with their paint drips intact and putting flowers of the same color into them - is a really wonderful idea.

Cinder block planters - even decorated ones - can be useful for building walls, borders or fences, wherever they are needed. They are also decorative and functional for the surrounding space and environment.

Even an old, wooden ladder can become a very special planter if you combine it with colored flowers and vases / pots.

A truly unique, eclectic idea is to transform old handbags into planters. It seems to be a bizarre idea, but the result is really attractive and not at all boring.

And why throw away brightly colored rubber boots (waders) when you can put some colorful flowers into them? The "wow" effect is guaranteed.

An old chair, restored and transformed into a planter, could give great satisfaction as a decoration for an unconventional, but beautiful, garden.

Even usng pallets, you can create some unique planters which will enhance your garden or balcony.

Have you ever imagined that a light fitting could be turned into an extraordinary planter? If you've never thought about this, try putting this idea into practice. You will not regret it.

Tires are another great recycling classic. And many are already used as planters. However, they have such versatile and adaptable shapes that you can create almost anything with them, always remaining very bespoke. Making a cup-shaped planter, for example, is really simple and attractive.

And a wheelbarrow can be used in a thousand different ways. Simply by painting it a nice, bright color and planting matching flowers, the result will be enchanting.

Which idea do you prefer? If you are spoiled for choice, try to make more than one. A thousand other extraordinarily imaginative ideas will come to mind when you do.
