Creepy Garden Planter

My creepy cactus garden

Instructions

1. Cut a hole on the top of the doll head using a box cutter or exact-o knife

2. Cover the bottom opening of the head with screen netting/ mesh material using a staple gun. This prevents any dirt from escaping while allowing water to seep out.

3. Fill head with dirt and add your favorite plant or flower


Difficulty:

Category: Home & Garden

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Garden

Style: Hipster, Outdoorsy, Funky, Eco-Friendly, Geeky


Materials

-Head from used/ thrifted plastic doll - Screen netting from hardware store -Box cutter or Exacto knife -Staple Gun -Dirt -Your favorite plant or flower

What was your inspiration?

I saw a man in Portland with some planters like this and he inspired me to make some of my own.

What are you most proud of?

How creepy and different they are from your typical garden planters

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be careful when using the box cutter or knife that you don't cut yourself!

And they would make a great addition to your garden around Halloween if you don't think you could handle them all year long.
