How to Make a Repurposed Rusty Planter



I once found this old coal starter I was using as a planter 
in someone's garbage... 



Then another day, on a walk around the block, I found this very cool piece of an iron statue. Trust me it was heavy for someone just planning on an easy walk around the block.


Wouldn't you know it when I brought it home it fit perfectly inside the coal starter.


It made my repurposed rusty planter even more rusty and gorgeous!

You just never know what you are going to find 
on the side of the road! Keep your eyes and your mind wide open! Exercise is good!

    W here do you live? I want to drive down your road! LOL! I have a rusty coal starter just like that and I still use it! Ha! Ha! But I would make that darling planter too if I had the top part but I don't. BTW, how did you get the rust to match so well? LOL!
