They may not have handled a drill, yet, but they did observe and learn how to use it properly. Then drill screws into boards to complete the bottom of the planter. I love a well designed home and I believe you can create this on every type of budget.
I am excited to say I am taking part in the Home Depot Gift Challenge and could not be any more excited! This has been such a fun experience and I can definitely say I was quite challenged this month. The DIH Workshop is a hands-on workshop that gives you a great opportunity to fine tune your DIY skills.
Home Depot Gift Challenge Concrete Planter
After all, isn’t this season all about green grass, bright flowers, and cool breezes? That also means time well spent outdoors… and I want our yard to look nice as we get out and enjoy it more.
Plus gather tips and advice from the pros for all of your home improvement projects. Using concrete adhesive, line the inside of the frame in order to slide concrete pavers into place. It is actually quite satisfying to know that YOU can build these easy projects on your own… and end up with a beautiful new piece of decor for your yard. So onto…a little pinterest tutorial and a green sand bucket from Michaels and a much easier way of making a concrete planter. Building this easy Concrete Paver Planter was a great way to get the girls familiar with tools and to learn about safety.
Fabulously Easy DIY Concrete Paver Planter
The workshop teaches you how to create planters from simple materials, such as wood and concrete pavers. Knowing the concrete pavers are heavy, we knew they could withstand the Texas springtime storms. To add an extra layer of color, we decided to stain the concrete pavers as well.
Add landscape fabric to the bottom of the paver and add planting soil. Once all 4 sides are set, use a come-along, bungee cord or clamps to secure pieces as they dry. Therefore, I was pretty excited about the idea of building this paver for our patio with my dad and my girls. I know the basics of wood, screws, stains, nails and more, but putting it altogether is not always my forte. Thanks to The Home Depot, we were able to create a fabulously easy Concrete Paver Planter. As I took a look around our house, I realized we needed to begin sprucing up the yard a bit for Spring.

I love the texture it brings but being a newbie at this I stuck to the basics. So clear your calendar and grab your girlfriends the third Thursday of each month for The Home Depot‘s DIH Workshop. Learn more and register online today to attend this month’s workshop. The finished project looks great on our patio and the girls picked a terrific plant that added just the right element of color.
I am seriously thinking about making some larger ones in the future to add to the back yard. As for turning this into a Father’s day gift…this can definitely become a pen holder for dad’s desk. I have yet to work with concrete except with my Ardex Feather Finish Countertops.
