How to Make a Whiskey Barrel Planter
03.07.2023 - 12:16 / hometalk.com
I found a picture on Pinterest that I loved as a garden inspiration project. It was fun and whimsical and just the “perk up” that my yard needed. And it had birdhouses, which I love! I used to visit a group board on Pinterest called Grace and Whimsy Guest Gardening Board and it always made me happy. This
project proved a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. This was mainly because I wanted everything to be removable so that I can change the decor and flowers easily with the seasons. I have some red, white and blue birdhouses to swap out for the Fourth of July. In the fall, I plan to fill it with pumpkins. I have some fun Halloween repurposed wine bottles to put on top instead of the birdhouses, too. What are seasonal decor ideas that you would incorporate into this planter?
I went to Home Depot and bought a whiskey barrel planter and a 4 by 4 post. While I was there I also visited the cull pile and picked up some boards for next to nothing. It is a good place to check out if you go.
I cut the 4 by 4 post into 3 staggered pieces. I used 2 1/2 ft, 2 ft and 1 1/2 ft as my measurements. I set them in place to play around with positioning.
I attempted to build birdhouses and failed miserably so I bought some at Tuesday Morning.
I positioned my flowers and determined that I needed to add a base to make my posts taller. You could also buy a longer 4 by 4 or two 4 by 4’s but I thought it might be easy to boost these up to the right height.
I used a piece of scrap plywood to build a base.
I cut a square piece and then took off the corners so it would sit on top of the pieces of wood that were in the barrel.
The front of my planter rests on the top of the whiskey barrel and I used a fence board to hold the back of the planter.
