Do you have old wine crates lying around in the cellar? You can turn them into a wooden planter yourself – here are 22 inspiring upcycling ideas to try.
Build a Wooden Planter from Old Wine Crates
A wine crate can easily become a charming wooden planter. The sturdy box gives the garden or balcony a rustic look and works well with country-style decor, terraces, and small outdoor corners. Leave the wood untreated and keep the original label for character, add your own note such as "my garden", or paint the crate in a cheerful spring color.
Wooden Planters – Quick Assembly Instructions
You will need only a few materials: a wine crate and a smaller plastic planter in a brown or beige color. Plant the flowers in the plastic container, then place it inside the wine crate. If you want to hide the plastic pot, cover it with a piece of linen fabric. After that, the decorative details are entirely up to your imagination.
Where to Place Wooden Planters
To help your new wooden planter last longer, choose a sunny, well-drained spot. A wine crate does not tolerate constant soil moisture, so mount it on casters or place it on the terrace instead of directly on wet ground. Select plants and flowers that enjoy plenty of sun.
