Once you have gathered your supplies, it's time to dress up your wooden post. For this project, you could leave the post raw depending on the look you are going for, or use a wood stain. I decided to finish my post with my “wood look” technique I applied to finish my front door, front posts, DIY house numbers, and front porch bench. It’s so simple you’ll love the results.
First, you paint the post orange. Sounds crazy, but trust the process! Next, you apply the gel stain, and finally seal with the Spar Urethane.

I had to fix small areas. Don’t be me, be patient and let the Gel Stain dry and cure completely.
To stabilize the post inside the planter I used 4 corner brackets. I screwed the longer screws directly through the bracket into the post before I put the post in the barrel. Next, I moved the post into the barrel to drill in the final

DIY String Light Planters Tutorial
FYI: The cost depends on how many planters you’d like. When we did this project, the planters were $20, posts were $15, bag of concrete $4 (about 2 planters worth), bag of rock $3/bag, planter hangers $8. The lights were $50 off Amazon and we used 2 for the entire patio. We had the scrap wood for the forms, the stain, and potting soil. Then you decide the type and therefore the cost of your flowers.
