Every now and then, it’s nice to come up with something to add an element of interest to a space. Gardens, for example, are wonderful places to put up quirky, exciting pieces. Whether you decide to choose a piece of furniture, a water feature, or trinkets, even the little things go a long way.
I have an aunt who’s constantly at work in her garden. When she’s unreachable by phone, we can easily find her in her favorite spot – planting, replanting, moving pots. For her birthday, we wanted to give her something that will reflect the garden-loving person that she is.
It was by sheer luck that my daughter came across this DIY project for unique burlap bag-shaped concrete planters. These planters are fun and quirky; eye-catching pieces that really stand out. We made several planters at once. It was very easy to make. Now we’re thinking of making some more for our neighbors.
