I have a favorite pair of shoes that I just can't seem to get rid of. They carry so many memories and have walked so many places. However, they are old, moldy, smelly and shot out. So I decided to turn them into a planter!
Here is an easy tutorial to follow. You can use anything you want! Like your favorite purse that is falling apart...
What you will need:
Small succulents (they maintain the best)
Shovel & gloves...or just your hands
Old shoes or purses that you are attached to
Succulent planting soil
A drill
The first thing you should do is drill or cut a couple holes in the bottom of the shoe, box, purse, etc. that you plan to use as your potter. It is best to have drainage in your "planter". For shoes, I recommend ripping the material sole out first.
Next, pack a layer of dirt in your selected planter.
Carefully put your succulent in your created nook. Pack dirt around the plant. You can finish it with rocks if you like.
And voila!
