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!

The planter I made on a cute bistro table

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!

I always adore Italian architecture. The estate features stone marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and antique painting. So dreamy! Learn more about Villa Tasca on my blog.
