Easy Flower Box Planter – DIY Video

This is me, Coco, in my yard, ready to start potting a pretty flower box.!

FLOWER BOX DIY VIDEO

Hi everyone! The countdown to spring is beginning and I am in the mood for all things floral! Today I bring you a DIY video on how to make an easy flower box planter that can double as a wonderful outdoor table centerpiece.

Watch this video I did on how to make it. VS and I shot this video on a weekend day. The planter took all of about 10 minutes to make. The cool thing about it is that it lasts for weeks and weeks. I love looking out at my outdoor table and seeing a beautiful flower planter all spring long.

Here’s what I used:

1. Old Rusty Metal Tray (found at a flea market years ago)
2. Gold matte finish metal paint
3. Garden moss
4. Potting Soil
5. Spike Moss
6. Cineraria

It was so easy. You can change out the metal tray for a redwood flower box or any other container that will allow drainage and can withstand watering.

Here are the steps:

Metal Flower Box Garden Planter
Line metal flower box with moss and then add soil
Cineraria Spike Moss Flower Planter
Add Cineraria and Spike Moss – Pack tightly
Metal Flower Box Cineraria Spike Moss
Voila – Flower box planter is done!

I ended up giving this flower box planter to my mother. I chose shade plants so that they would do well in a covered breezeway at her house. I am making more of these throughout the spring.

A big thanks to VS for shooting and editing this video of me. She is our talented Marketing and Social media guru! We had a lot of fun doing this!

Hope this gives you ideas for planting this spring and making your outdoor space bright and cheerful!

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇
