Turn an old boot into a planter. Do you have a pair of boots that have been with you through thick and thin? Are they too worn for you or anyone else to make use of them? Give them a new life with plants. These can be used inside or outside.
•Line the inside of boots with wax paper. The wax paper will prevent water from leaking through the boot. Place the middle of one sheet of wax paper over the opening of the boot. Carefully move wax paper into boot with your hand until your fingers hit the bottom of the boot. There will excess wax paper over the edge of the boot. Repeat for second boot.
•Fill each boot about three fourths way with potting soil.
•Place one flower/plant in each boot.
•Remove excess wax paper from the boots with a pair of scissors. Wax paper should come no lower than an inch underneath the top of each boot.
•Fill the remaining fourth of the boot with potting soil.
•Add a small amount of water to each boot.
•Place the boots in sunlight. There you have it! A simple and easy way to reuse those old boots that you cannot bear to part with.
