I had an empty window and some miniature peace Lilly plants that needed dividing. So with a yogurt cup, some heavy yarn, glue and pins I made a small planter to hang from the window latch.
I hope this inspires you !

I am definatly on the track of decorating my entire house with plants. not only am I a collector, but i am a person who loves the calming effects that the green has and the uplifting feel of gardening indoors during the depressing winter when I get depressed when I can't get my hands dirty outdoors. I have 15 well established plants indoors in different planters and looking to just branch out soon.
But I fell in love with this planter I found online. I will eventually need it having filled every ledge, corner, and leftover counterspace with plants.

I am sick and tired of trying to decorate and there is a hindering factor. CA$H.
Well I just do not give up completely. When i want to put something in my house or garden I search all resources. I first think of how I can make it on the cheap then buy it on the cheap.
First I go through things that I have on hand, then move to things I toss out, then think of places whee you can buy on the cheap.
For instance I want to have large planters in my yard. the type I want are running anywhere from 30 $ on up. but the cheaper end of 30$ does not get anything that matches my landscape design. So first I think on how I can make it on the cheap (must be cheaper than the cheapest pot you can buy in the store) so I found a tutorial on making planter.
But then you think that maybe you might have something else around the house that you can use that is already a container that you can punch drainage holes in and maybe add some paint and sealant to it to make it a planter such as, formula or coffee cans, plastic dishes, old bowls, pots, If it can hold a handful of soil or more then it can become a planter. Remember it is best to do this route for the reduce recycle and reuse aspect.
Here is a an idea for all the old shoes that are lying around.
Then there are great resources for used.. This takes a lot of time but search your local garage sales. I have found a lot of pots that can be revived with a coat of paint or a good scrubbing.
But as for the next dilemma I have.. WHen do I have time??
