– 2 Dollar Tree Buckets (you can buy in bulk online, but I recommend going in store) – 2 Pool Noodles but you can also find them on Amazon – Xacto knife or box cutter – Caulk from Dollar Tree you can also find on Amazon – White Chalk Paint – Paint Brush – Rustoleum Stone Spray Paint

I cut the handles off both baskets so that they are flat all around. Regular scissors worked fine because this plastic was pretty thin.
3
With the handles cut off of both of my buckets, I flipped them over so that they were base to base to glue them together.
I used hot glue to attach the two buckets together. Once the glue set, I reinforced the bases by adding more hot glue to the seam.

I used a lot of hot glue to apply the noodles and then held them in place to allow the glue to dry. I added glue and a pool noodle for each row and used painter’s tape to hold them in place while the glue was drying.

Fill in the indentations between my pool noodles to create the smallest gap as possible. I used caulk from the Dollar Tree.
7
After the caulk dries, paint the entire project white. I used white chalk paint by Rustoleum.

Apply a few coats of Rustoleum Stone Spray—messy work, so do it outdoors!
Once dry, use it to plant your favorite plant and enjoy!
