DIY farmhouse planter (Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart)

I admit it I have a bad habit of laying in my bed at night and looking up DIY farmhouse decor. Obviously fantasizing on how I can create it myself. Also admittedly I do not have a green thumb. I have bought many plants and many plants have met their demise because of me. So I like to stick to  fake plants.




I have seen many tutorials on a project similar to this. I found the metal planter at Dollar Tree. I sprayed all sides with Kilz chalk spray paint (from Wal-mart).  It only took one coat on each side. After it dried I just lightly took some sand paper to the letters, sides a bit, and edges a bit. Then I used floral foam for the inside. I got $0.97 lavender bundles from Wal-Mart. I cut them all off of the bottom stem because they weren't sitting right in the floral foam. So I stuck each single piece into the foam. I absolutely love how it turned out. What do you think?

Cost: $5. I already had the spray paint and floral foam so I didn't include it in the cost. It's around $6 for a can. It's so worth it. I also used it for two more projects that I will be posting soon. I already had the ribbon too. So basically I just paid $1 for the tray and $4 for the flower bundles. Your cost may be a little more if you have to buy paint.
