plastic planter


A while back, I replanted this succulent into a cottage cheese container that was laying around after lasagna night. It desperately needed fresh soil and I didn't feel like going out to buy a planter, especially since our recycling bins hold so much up-cycling potential every week. Secretly, I had the idea that one day I would wrap the shell with one of the thousands of wires we had in a box under our bed, courtesy of my gadget-loving husband. So today, I decided to put that idea to the test and took some unused, almost trashed telephone wire (who uses landlines anymore?) and hot-glued it down for a clean, modern finish and a whole lot of eco.
